how to run a certain code loop for 'N' times and get 'N' number of output outside the loop.

I have certain code which I run for 'N' times using 'for' loop but after running the loop when I want to get all the N value of the parameters, it only gives the Last (Nth) value. for example this code generates the five matrices if I put A inside.
clc clear all N = 5; for i = 1:N A = rand(3,5); A end
% output is
A =
0.4352 0.9375 0.5505 0.2475 0.3547
0.1577 0.1078 0.4274 0.4474 0.7731
0.6005 0.9000 0.1524 0.5328 0.8817
A =
0.7341 0.6411 0.3105 0.4269 0.9250
0.4064 0.1275 0.5786 0.0331 0.3583
0.6042 0.4962 0.9436 0.9294 0.2600
A =
0.7869 0.6848 0.9429 0.9094 0.6503
0.5116 0.0924 0.0966 0.0113 0.3851
0.5625 0.8726 0.8459 0.5237 0.6493
A =
0.7629 0.2782 0.6316 0.4008 0.0904
0.5757 0.8398 0.8335 0.5543 0.7444
0.6319 0.4268 0.2702 0.4439 0.0326
A =
0.4297 0.5223 0.8845 0.8946 0.5676
0.0373 0.9096 0.2550 0.3985 0.8945
0.9758 0.3832 0.9090 0.6250 0.2142
% If I put 'A' outside the loop it gives only the last (5th) value.
clc clear all N = 5; for i = 1:N A = rand(3,5); end A
A =
0.4297 0.5223 0.8845 0.8946 0.5676
0.0373 0.9096 0.2550 0.3985 0.8945
0.9758 0.3832 0.9090 0.6250 0.2142
I want all the five matrices outside the loop as A1, A2, A3,A4 and A5. Please help me.

Make A a 3D matrix.
N = 5;
A = zeros(3,5,N) ;
for i = 1:N
A(:,:,i) = rand(3,5);
end
You can access A using A(:,:,i) where i = 1,2,3,4,5.

You don't need the loop:
A = rand(3, 5, N);

@MANISH KUMAR: Please use the "{} Code" button to post readable code. Do not hide an important detail of the question in the comment of an answer, but all required details shsould be found inside the original question. Therefore use the possibility to edit the question. Thanks.
You got several suggestion already. All you have to do is storing the matrix in each iteration.
Result = cell(1, N);
for i = 1:N
...
ResultC{i} = X;
end
...
% Perhaps:
ResultM = cat(3, ResultC{:});

You might allocate the memory required for A so it can hold 3 x 5 x N elements instead of just 3 x 5:
>>N = 5; for i = 1:N A(:,:,i) = rand(3,5); end, A
A(:,:,1) =
0.8147 0.9134 0.2785 0.9649 0.9572
0.9058 0.6324 0.5469 0.1576 0.4854
0.1270 0.0975 0.9575 0.9706 0.8003
A(:,:,2) =
0.1419 0.7922 0.0357 0.6787 0.3922
0.4218 0.9595 0.8491 0.7577 0.6555
0.9157 0.6557 0.9340 0.7431 0.1712
A(:,:,3) =
0.7060 0.0462 0.6948 0.0344 0.7655
0.0318 0.0971 0.3171 0.4387 0.7952
0.2769 0.8235 0.9502 0.3816 0.1869
A(:,:,4) =
0.4898 0.7094 0.6797 0.1190 0.3404
0.4456 0.7547 0.6551 0.4984 0.5853
0.6463 0.2760 0.1626 0.9597 0.2238
A(:,:,5) =
0.7513 0.6991 0.5472 0.2575 0.8143
0.2551 0.8909 0.1386 0.8407 0.2435
0.5060 0.9593 0.1493 0.2543 0.9293
you might also preallocate A for speed:
>> A = zeros(3,5,N);

N = 5; for i = 1:N, eval(sprintf('A%i = rand(3,5);A%i',i,i)), end
This is not suggested.
