Using for loops to calculate a function that outputs a matrix and I want to store it into a matrix?

Hello,

I have an exponential function that needs to be solved 41 times and stored in 41 different matrices. Here's what I have:

for i = 0:40;
  for a = 1:41
  E = exp((-1i).*2.*i.*x);
  matrix{1,a} = E;
  end
end

Can someone help? Thanks!

Is x constant?

x is a 256x73 matrix that is constant.

One way to simplify this:

for ii=0:40
  m{ii+1} = exp(-i.*2.*ii.*x);
end

NOTE: I assume the '-1i' in your exponential is meant to be the complex number '0-1i'. If so, you should change the for-loop iterator from i to ii or something else.

Great! Thank you! I tend to make it really hard on myself with naming conventions.
