Add SINGLE element to array or vector

I have a vector of the format:

x = [xval(1) xval(2) … xval(n)]

, and I want to add an element to the end, xval(n+1). How do I do that?

@Anushalini Thiyagarajan I have no idea what you mean. Please ask your question in a new question (not here) after you read this:

In the meantime, look at input functions such as readmatrix, importdata, dlmread, xlsread, fgetl, etc.

For an existing vector x, you can assign a new element to the end using direct indexing. For example

x = [1 2 3]
x(4) = 4

or

x(end+1) = 4;

where "end" is a special keyword in MATLAB that means the last index in the array. So in your specific case of n elements, it would automatically know that "end" is your "n".

Another way to add an element to a row vector “x” is by using concatenation:

x = [x newval]

or

x = [x, newval]

For a column vector:

x = [x; newval]

Also, you need to initialise the variable x before your for loop.

x = [];

And inside the for loop you use Image Analyst code.

Thank you so much!!

How would you add a delimeter to this?

[Image Analyst]

Please state exactly what you'd like as an output. It sounds like you want a string (character array).

The above code is working perfectly. Thank you.

also this works for me, is basically direct indexing:

x(end+1) = newval

x=[]

x=[x;'ysf']

Answer 3

[Dakota Jandek]

x = [1, 2, 3]

x(length(x)+1) = 4

[Adrien Bouguerra]

amazing method , really efficient thank u so much Dakota

Or even better,

x = [1, 2, 3]
x(end+1) = 4
