Add Headers to Matrix
Show older comments
I made a multiplication table and want to add headers to it. This is my code:
clear; clc;
n = input('Select a value for n: ');
m = zeros(n);
for column = 1:1:n
for row = 1:1:n
num = row*column;
m(column,row) = num;
end
end
disp(m) I would like it to have a header over the top and down the left side like a real multiplication chart. How would I go about doing this? For example, say the user enters 3. I want it to look like:
1 2 3 1 1 2 3 2 2 4 6 3 3 6 9
Thank you so much in advance!

No loops are required, just use MATLAB's ability to work with complete matrices:
n = str2double(input('Select a value for n: ','s')); % safer to use 's' option.
v = 1:n;
m = [v;v(:)*v];
f = repmat('%5d',1,n);
fprintf(['x |',f,'\n'],v)
fprintf('--|%s\n',repmat('-',1,n*5))
fprintf(['%-2d|',f,'\n'],m)
Which displays this in the command window:
Select a value for n: 6
x | 1 2 3 4 5 6
--|------------------------------
1 | 1 2 3 4 5 6
2 | 2 4 6 8 10 12
3 | 3 6 9 12 15 18
4 | 4 8 12 16 20 24
5 | 5 10 15 20 25 30
6 | 6 12 18 24 30 36
If you want to put headers in a variable stored in MATLAB memory, then I highly recommend using tables:
