add to array in matlab

There are a few ways to add elements to an existing array in Matlab:

  1. Appending an element using the square brackets notation:

    A = [A, new_element];
    
    22 chars
    2 lines

    This appends new_element to the end of array A.

  2. Inserting an element at a specific index using Matlab's index notation:

    A = [A(1:index-1), new_element, A(index:end)];
    
    47 chars
    2 lines

    This inserts new_element at index index in array A.

  3. Concatenating two arrays using square brackets:

    A = [A, B];
    
    12 chars
    2 lines

    This concatenates arrays A and B and saves the result in A.

Here's an example that shows these methods in action:

% Initialize an array
A = [1 2 3];

% Append an element
A = [A, 4];

% Insert an element at index 2
A = [A(1:1), 5, A(2:end)];

% Concatenate two arrays
B = [6 7 8];
A = [A, B];

disp(A)   % Output: [1 5 2 3 4 6 7 8]
217 chars
15 lines
