Create a 2x2 matrix with column of values and zeros

Hi Guys,

So i'm experiencing a bit of difficulty in creating a temporary matrix, code below:

Positions = Postions'

Now, I would like to create a 2x2 matrix, with one column containg the transpose Position values and the other column to just be 0 for all the corresponding transpose values. Hope this makes sense.

Not really, not until you give an example.

Hello,

I understand that you are trying to create a 2*2 matrix with one column as “Positions” values and the second as all 0 values. Here, I am assuming the “Positions” to be an array [1 2]. Below code will create the required matrix:

Positions = [1 2];
col2 = zeros(2,1);
matrix = [Positions' col2]

matrix = 2×2

1 0 2 0
