How could i make a vector with char

I need to create the following vector

First I use

syms A B 3D E F G H

V3=[A,B,3D,E,F,G,H,2,58]

It seems that im having a mistake while using syms, how can i fix it if i want my vector like this;

V3= A B 3D E F G H 2 58;

syms is not for declaring characters. syms is for creating symbolic variables. All symbolic variable names must be valid MATLAB variable names, so 3D is not a valid symbolic variable name.

It is not possible to create a vector of char in which some of the elements are multiple characters and some of them are single characters.

You can create a cell array:

V3 = {'A', 'B', '3D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', '2', '58'};

In current releases, by default this would display as

1×9 cell array
  {'A'}    {'B'}    {'3D'}    {'E'}    {'F'}    {'G'}    {'H'}    {'2'}    {'58'}

but if you specifically ask disp(V3)

    'A'    'B'    '3D'    'E'    'F'    'G'    'H'    '2'    '58'

With R2017a and later, you can create a string() vector:

V3 = ["A" "B" "3D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "2" "58"];

by default this would display as

1×9 string array
  "A"    "B"    "3D"    "E"    "F"    "G"    "H"    "2"    "58"

if you disp() it then you get the same except without the "1 x 9 string array" part.

Are you trying to produce the string 'A B 3D E F G H 2 58' from a cell array of character vectors, {'A', 'B', '3D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', '2', '58'} ? If so then strjoin() the cell array with ' ' as the second argument

V3 = strjoin({'A', 'B', '3D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', '2', '58'}, ' ')
