How do I use the besselj function?

I've been given a row vector v and column vector z:

v = unique(randi(12, [1,4])-1);
z = linspace(0,10*(1+rand(1)),2e2).';

I'm supposed to produce an array M=Jv(z), where the columns of M(z) correspond to each value of v.

This is what I've made so far:

for i = [1:length(v)]
    M(i)=besselj(v(i),z(i))
end

I had thought I made a correct array of M, with it being a 1x4 function, like v. However this doesn't allow me to make M a function of z, and I have a feeling I've completely misunderstood the documentation of the besselj function altogether.

The function besselj(nu,x) is in fact two variable function as . you put v(i) and z(i) simultaneously with same index in argument of it. means M(i) is which make it one dimensional array. you should consider some v as you already created and a linespace for spatial variable.

v = unique(randi(12, [1,4])-1);
z = linspace(0,10*(1+rand(1)),2e2).';

for i = 1:numel(v)
    M(i,:)=besselj(v(i),z);
end
plot(z,M,'LineWidth',2);grid on;
legend(['J_{' num2str(v(1)) '}'],['J_{' num2str(v(2)) '}'],['J_{' num2str(v(3)) '}'],['J_{' num2str(v(4)) '}'])

if size of v be less than 4 the line legends leads to an array.
