For loop for matrix with increasing numbers

1 view (last 30 days)
I'm trying to use a for loop to create a 7x8 matrix that increases by 4 for each number (starting at 1).
So far I have something that goes
for
k = 1:8
a(k)=4*k;
end
just to create the first row... how would I go about adding more rows that keep adding increasing elements?

Try this:
theNumber = 1;
for col = 1 : 8
for row = 1 : 7
a(row, col) = theNumber;
theNumber = theNumber + 4;
end
end

I was going for increasing in the rows so I just switched the row/column. i.e.
theNumber = 1;
for row = 1:7
for col = 1:8
a(row, col) = theNumber;
theNumber = theNumber + 4;
end
end
Thanks for your help!! :)
