How to create multiple matrices using for loop?

How to take input of coordinates of n number of points and store it in different 2x1 matrices?

The loops I am using are as follows but there is some error.

for i=1:n
    x(i)=input('Enter the X-coordinate of node ')
    y(i)=input('Enter the Y-coordinate of node ')
end
C=[x;y]
for i=1:n
    P(i)= [x(i);y(i)]
end

You should treat P as a 2D matrix. I am not sure if this comment solve your question.

P(:,i) = [x(i);y(i)];

Thanks for your answer but it still gives the output as a single P matrix. I want multiple 2x1 matrices P1,P2...n

[Atsushi Ueno]

If you mean "different 2x1 matrices" as "tuple (cell array)", you should change your code as below.

P{i} = [x(i);y(i)];

How about this one?

eval(['P' num2str(i) ' = [x(' num2str(i) ');y(' num2str(i) ')]']);

@Atsushi Ueno: Stay at the cell array. Creating a bunch of variables dynamically with EVAL is a bad programming style. See TUTORIAL: Why and how to avoid EVAL

Thank you. I know it is bad programming style, but Rohit Raut wants multiple 2x1 matrices P1,P2...

A cell array already contains those "multiple matrices", which are trivially accessible via indexing.

i'm a bit confused what you really want. If u are ok with multiple 2x1 matrices in a cell array you can just use num2cell(C,1) in your case, it divides a 2 x n matrix into n cells containing each 2x1 matrices
