Local functions. Appending results of looping to previous variable; creating separate variable for each loop.

I have a local function that returns two variables, say [icke,data]=localfunction(x). I am using a for loop to apply the local function several times.

for i=1:10
[icke,data]=localfunction(x)
end

Want I want to do is for each loop of the local function for icke, I want the result to be appended to the bottom of the previous icke. Right now the above removes and replaces the previous each time.

For the second variable data, I would like a new variable to be created for each one, ideally, so we have data1, data2, ..., data10.

Subscript the outputs. If they are scalars, use:

for i=1:10
    [icke(i,:),data(i,:)]=localfunction(x)
end

If they are vectors, or if there are different size outputs, use cell arrays:

for i=1:10
    [icke{i},data{i}]=localfunction(x)
end

Please never name variables dynamically. Simply refer to them by thier subscripts.

Also, you may want to subscript the inputs as well:

for i=1:10
    [icke(i,:),data(i,:)]=localfunction(x(i))
end
