Store output in array

Hi everyone,

For the randomly generated points, I would like to store the output of 'position' as an array such that I can make reference to it in future.

I know this can be done when using a for loop, but is it possible to accomplish without the need of manually entering each result as a vector?

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

r=3;
m=10;
x=rand(1,m)*r;
alpha=pi*2*rand(1,m);
position=x.*exp(i*alpha)

Cheers.

Your ‘position’ vector is a vector in your code.

What do you want to do with it?

Hi Star,

Thanks for your comment.

I would like to store the initial set of data generated so I can recall it for later as each time I run the code, it gives me new results - I'm just interested in the first set of outputs.

Thanks again.

My pleasure.

In that instance, you have two options:

1. Sstore it as a .mat file (probably easiest, see the save, load, and matfile functions), or

2. Set the random number generator with a specific seed (see the rng function) each time you run that particular part of your code.

As always, my pleasure.

Great! Thanks for the options, Star. I haven't come across the rng function before. It looks interesting - I will try it out.

Really appreciate the help. Have a nice day.

You, too!
