Thread Subject:

split matrix into small matricess

I have a matrix (300 x 25)

i want to divide it into 10 matrice such that
a) each matrix has 30 rows
b) each matrix has 25 columns

i.e. number of columns are same always
answer should be like

M1 = 30 x 25 (rows start from 1 and end at 30)
M2 = 30 x 25 (rows start from 31 and ends at 60)
M3 = 30 x 25 (rows start from 61 and ends at 90)
.
.
.
how i can solve this problem?

Don't do this!

A = your_matrix
Mcell = mat2cell(A,repmat(30,10,1),25)

See mat2cell() for the splitting; it is easy.

The assigning to individually named variables "is left as an exercise to
the reader" (in other words, Don't Do That!)

A = your 300x25 matrix
X = mat2cell(A,30*ones(10,1),25);

X{1} is your M1, X{2} is your M2, etc.

Hi Faisal, You should spend some time reading the MATLAB Getting Started Guide. The section on Matrices and Arrays explains these basic operations.

M = randn(300,25);
M1 = M(1:30,:);
