How to get column function result into separate variables?

What I mean is you can do:

A=rand(2);
[a,b]=size(A);

But is it possible to do something like:

A=rand(2);
[a;b]=size(A)';

"How to get column function result into separate variables?"

The question is not clear. The output of size as you are using it with two output arguments is NOT one "vector", it is two output arguments which have absolutely no dimensional/positional/... relationship with each other. Definitely NOT one "vector" or array as you seem to assume:

[a,b]=size(A);
^^^^^ This is NOT a row vector!

But is it possible to do something like:

No, size(X) returns the row vector [1 1].

A=rand(2);
[a;b]=size(A)';

If you tried this one [a;b], it is vector [2,1]

This see the example, you can do this one, this way

>> [a b]=size(A);
>> t=[a b]'

t =

       2
       2

[m,n]=size(X) returns the size of matrix X in separate variables m and n, here you can use the intermediates variables.

What you have tried, get the size, it must be stored in variables [a;b], if you directly tried another function (transpose) without store it, how can you do that.

--------

     A=rand(2);
    [a b]=size(A');

Maybe size() wasn't best example here. How to deal with this one:

A=rand(2);
B=rand(2,1);
[x;y]=A*B; %incorrect

What you want to do exactly?

[Pawel Cembaluk]

I'm just curious if it is possible to get x and y like in this example without creating additional temporary variables (and also I don't want to replace [x;y] with a single vector).

Check with whos, I found a very important question, Thanks for the question, learning for me also

>> A=rand(2);
B=rand(2,1);
>> C=A*B;
>> y=[6;7];

You should have a look at deal() -- though if you do not use a temporary variable then it helps to use an auxiliary function

expand_cell = @(C) C{:};
[x, y] = expand_cell( num2cell( A* B) );
