Dear friends,

can you help me in creating n x n symbolic matrix like

       [a11 a12 ... a1n]
       [a21 a22 ... a2n]
A = [ ... ]
      [an1 an2 ... ann ]

Can anybody help me?

Regards.

A = sym(zeros(n, n));
for rows = 1:n
    for cols = 1:n
        A(rows, cols) = sym(sprintf('a%d%d', rows, cols));
    end
end

You should watch out if you want to create a moderately sized matrix like
this -- is a111 element (1, 11) of A or element (11, 1)? I would personally
use some separator between the row and column components of the sym variable
name.
