array name to string in matlab

To convert an array name to a string in Matlab, you can use the inputname function to retrieve the name of a variable as a string, and then concatenate it to create a new string. Here's an example:

main.m
% Define an array
myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4];

% Get the name of the variable as a string
name = inputname(1);

% Create a new string using the variable name
str = strcat('The name of my array is ', name);

% Display the new string
disp(str);
239 chars
12 lines

Output:

main.m
The name of my array is myArray
32 chars
2 lines

In this example, we first define an array called myArray. We then use the inputname function to retrieve the name of the variable (in this case, "myArray") and assign it to the variable name. We then use the strcat function to concatenate the string "The name of my array is " with the variable name, resulting in the string "The name of my array is myArray". Finally, we use disp to display the new string.
