Creating an array of different data types (integer and float)

Hi,

I want to combine two vertical 1D arrays, one of which is a list of numbers from 1 to 10, the other is a list of other numbers which are all decimals. For reference, my variables are n and results and the combined array is A

When I combine them, the integers n into floats (I think that's what they're called) 1.0000, 2.0000 ...etc. I want these to be integers so I try putting A = [int8(n),results]; this changes n to integers but also changes results to integers, which are all zero (I guess it's rounding them down- they are all less than 1).

I've also tried A = {[int8(n),results]}, but this comes up as A = [10x2 int8] in the command window.

Thanks

It is not possible to have a numeric array that has a mix of datatypes.

Please give the command

format long g

and then re-display (part of) the vertical concatenation to see whether the ".0000" still shows up
