give name to value in row

Hi everyone,

say i have a row like this:

a= [1 2 3 4];

and I want each value to get its own name like this:

time = 1 bb = 2 fk = 3 ww = 4

I thought by doing it like this:

[time bb fk ww] = a;

but apprently that does not work

hope u can help it's probably easy but i guess not for me :)

thanks in advance!

You might want to use table()

If you want to allocate multiple values at once then you can use deal:

>> a = [1 2 3 4];
>> b = num2cell(a);
>> [time,bb,fk,ww] = deal(b{:})
time =
     1
bb =
     2
fk =
     3
ww =
     4

Or you could simply allocate them explicitly:

>> time = a(1), bb = a(2), fk = a(3), ww = a(4)
time =
     1
bb =
     2
fk =
     3
ww =
     4
