how to make string vector?

range = [18,29];

how to make ['18','29']?

int2str(range); is not the solution

[Stephen23]

Contrary to what many beginners think, in MATLAB the square brackets [] are not a list operator, but are a concatenation operator, which means that the given code

['18','29']

will produce one string like this:

'1829'

A cell array can be used for storing strings separately:

{'18','29'}

Answer 1

[Stephen23]

Here are three possible interpretation of the question.

1. To create one single string, exactly as per the original question:

 >> vec = [18,29];
 >> sprintf('%d',vec)
 ans = 
   '1829'

2. To create a cell array of strings:

>> arrayfun(@int2str,vec,'UniformOutput',false)
ans = 
  '18'    '29'

3. To create a character array with spaces separating the values:

>> int2str(vec) % or num2str
ans = '18  29'

Answer 2

You realise that, in ML, ['18','29'] is exactly the same as the single character array '1829' ?

a = [18, 29]
str = sprintf('%d',a)
