The following is a code for creation of matrix using for loop
for r = 1:256;
for c=1:256;
m(r,c) = (r+c)^2;
end;
end;
disp(m)
In m(r,c) = (r+c)^2; Suppose, if there are two or more equations like (r+c)^2 and (2r-c)^2 and (r+3c) ,I want to get m(r1,c1)=(r+c)^2 and m(r2,c2)=(2r-c)^2 and m(r3,c2)=(r+3c) and again m(r4,c4)=(r+c)^2 and m(r5,c5)=(2r-c)^2 and ...... etc upto m(r256,c256).

I am not certain what you want to do, and you do not say what ‘(r2,c2)’ and the rest are, or what you want to do with them.
You can eliminate the loop with meshgrid:
r = 1:256;
c = 1:256;
[R,C] = meshgrid(r,c);
m = (R + C).^2;
figure(1)
meshc(R, C, m)
grid on
xlabel('\bf\itr')
ylabel('\bf\itc')
zlabel('\bf\itm')

Yes, But m = (R+C).^2 . I just want to merge r and c to form a matrix of size 256x256

My code does exactly that, without the loop.
Run my code and compare the figure it produces (in figure(1)) with the figure your code produces (in figure(2)):
for r = 1:256;
for c=1:256;
m(r,c) = (r+c)^2;
end;
end;
figure(2)
meshc(m)
grid on
The result is the same, the only difference being that my code is more efficient and easier to work with.
