% I would like to go from A = [1 1;2 2;3 3;4 4;5 5]
% to A = [1 1;2 2;3 3;4 4;5 5;1 2;2 3;3 4;4 5;5 6];
A = [1 1;2 2;3 3;4 4;5 5];
% Multi-line approach
B = A;
B(:,2) = B(:,2) + 1;
A = [A;B];
clear B
% Is there a way to do this in one line of code? I have to do similar operations multiple times,
% and would like to know if there is a way to do so. Otherwise, I will settle for a function.
% Note that the actual matrices are 1,000,000+ x 30 in size.
% Thank you

A = [1 1;2 2;3 3;4 4;5 5];
A = [A;A+(0:1)]
A = 10×2
1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6

"the simplest way is the following then?"
Probably the "simplest way" is just as you show in your question.
If you want to avoid duplicated data, you could create B first then add one to the appropriate (part-)column.

Understood. Thank you.

% Define the differential equation dy/dx = f(x, y)
% Example: dy/dx = (y^2-x^2)/(y^2+x^2) f = @(x, y) x + y;
% Input initial and final conditions
x0 = input('Enter the initial value of x0: ');
y0 = input('Enter the initial value of y0: ');
xg = input('Enter the final value of xg: ');
h = input('Enter the value of step size h: ');
% Number of steps
n = (xg - x0) / h;
% Runge-Kutta 2nd order iteration
for i = 1:n
k1 = h * f(x0, y0);
k2 = h * f(x0 + h, y0 + k1);
k = (k1 + k2) / 2;
yg = y0 + k; % Update y
x0 = x0 + h; % Update x y0=yg;
end
% Display final result
fprintf('The final value of y at x = %f is y = %f\n', x0, y0);
Is there a way to do entire code in one line
