MatLab for loop question

Hey guys, probably a simple question but I'm new at this and pretty confused.

So I'm trying to raise a matrix to the powers of 1,2,3,4,5,10,20,25,50,and 75, so I wrote

for t={1,2,3,4,5,10,20,25,50,75}

(A^t)

end

But this is only raising the matrix to the 75th, how do I do this?

That code will error out when it first tries to raise the matrix to a power. When you give a cell array of values as the list of values for a "for" loop, the loop variable is set to a cell containing each element in the list, so you would be trying to first raise A to {1} rather than to 1.

If you had used [] instead of {}. the code shown would raise to each power and display the result, but would not do anything with the results other than to display them.

Perhaps your code looks different than what you posted?

Thank you! Took out the commas and replaced the {} with [] and it worked!

For future reference: you could have left in the commas.
