how to generate and cover all the possible arrays using two enties

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi Dear All,
I have an array of 1*4, in which each array can be of two strings 'H' or 'C'. to elaborate on it more this can be like below:
[H H H H] or [H H H C] or [H C C C] or ..........[C C C C}
in total there would be 2*2*2*2=16 case for that.
I would like to generate all the 16 cases and following that I want to proceed the calculations. I dont know how to form these 16 cases and cover all the possible cases for that.
I would appreciate your support in advance.

If you mean actual strings instead of chars, then:
A = dec2bin(0:15);
A(A=='1') = 'H';
A(A=='0') = 'C';
A = string(num2cell(A))
A = 16×4 string array
"C" "C" "C" "C" "C" "C" "C" "H" "C" "C" "H" "C" "C" "C" "H" "H" "C" "H" "C" "C" "C" "H" "C" "H" "C" "H" "H" "C" "C" "H" "H" "H" "H" "C" "C" "C" "H" "C" "C" "H" "H" "C" "H" "C" "H" "C" "H" "H" "H" "H" "C" "C" "H" "H" "C" "H" "H" "H" "H" "C" "H" "H" "H" "H"

You could do something like this
dec2bin(0,2)
ans = '00'
dec2bin(0,4)
ans = '0000'
That would allow you to explicitly set the field width

Another possible solution:
[p,q,w,s] = ndgrid({'H','C'});
A = [p(:),q(:),w(:),s(:)];
disp(A)
{'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'H'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'H'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'} {'C'}
