How to generate a set of variables with increasing numbers related to the indices of another array?

2 views (last 30 days)
Given:
x=[3 1 2]
y=[1 1 1]
Is there a way to generate some code to do something like this in MatLab?
x1=y.*x(1)
x2=y.*x(2)
x3=y.*x(3)
where we generate a new variable with a numerical value that correspond to the indices of the array used in the operation?
So the answer should be:
x1=3 3 3
x2=1 1 1
x3=2 2 2
I hope it is clear enough!
Thank you!

You can do that more easily with simple matrix-vector multiplication:
z = y(:)*x
producing:
z =
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
and if you absolutely must create separate vectors for them from ‘z’ (although this is not considered to be efficient programming practice), that is straightforward:
x1 = z(1,:)
x2 = z(2,:)
x3 = z(3,:)
x1 =
1 1 1
x2 =
2 2 2
x3 =
3 3 3
