how to make a function (named pcc ) that solves the cartesian product of 2 strings A(with n elements) and B(with m elements)?

intputs n, m, A, B output pcc

Hi Cosmin,

If by 'strings' you mean vectors of characters then there are questions about how to accomplish multiplication. If you mean vectors of numbers, then in this context the Cartesian product is the same as the outer product, multiplication of a column vector by a row vector:

a = [1 2 3].'
b = [4 5 6 7]
a*b

ans =

     4     5     6     7
     8    10    12    14
    12    15    18    21

Assume A and B are row strings.

C = [reshape(repmat(A,length(B),1),[],1),repmat(B(:),length(A),1)];

The two-element rows of C will contain all possible pairs of elements of A and B.
