I'm trying to get a vector from a loop without doing the linspace function

in the command window I want it to look like this

The vector created using the for loop is:

0 1.2500 2.5000 3.7500 5.0000

here is my code

vector = zeros(1,5);
for i = 0:1.25:5;
    vector = i
end
disp(vector) 

this only shows the 5 but i want it to display all of them in a line

You must tell the code where in vector you want each value placed.

How would i do that?

Answer 2

[Asad (Mehrzad) Khoddam]

vector = zeros(1,5);
j = 1;
for i = 0:1.25:5;
    vector(j) = i;
    j = j+ 1;
end
disp(vector)

its still saying column 1-3 in the command window

[Asad (Mehrzad) Khoddam]

It works well for me.

you can use this code too:

vector = zeros(1,5);
for i = 1:5
    vector(i) = 1.25*(i-1);
end
disp(vector)

This would be more numerically stable. Note that solutions based on a:b:c are susceptible to floating point errors, e.g.,

>> 0:1.25+1e-14:5

ans =

         0    1.2500    2.5000    3.7500
