I'd like to know how can I input n x n matrix where n is not a specific number?
Thanks

I'd like to create a matrix size n x n in general. My problem is that I have to get determinant of a n x n matrix where n is unknown. My matrix looks something like: on the diagonal are {n, n-1, n-2,...,1} and some other elements which arent really important now.
I hope you understand what I mean.
In a sentence; do I have to state n = some_number,.... at the beginning or can I work with n as unknown at the moment.

So you want an determinant as an analytical function of n? No, not clear yet.

mtx = diag(n:-1:1)

n = some_number;
matrix = rand(n)
matrix = magic(n)
matrix = zeros(n)
Please be more specific as to what you want.

You do not need to know the value of n at the beginning, but depending on what you want to do with your matrix, you may or may not need to know the value of n at some point later on.
For example, in the following code, the size of the variable x does not need to be known in advance, but it does need to be known at the time you choose to call this function:
function y = timestwo(x)
y = 2*x;
end
The only thing that is known in advance is that the size of y will be the same as the size of x, whatever that is at runtime. In addition, the data class and complexity of y will also be the same as x. But again, until you call this function, there is no way to know nor is there any need to know any of these characteristics of the variables x and y.
Can you please be more specific about what you would like to do, what you have tried so far, what is not working in what you have tried, and what you would like us to help you with?
Thanks!

By the way, you can always find out the value of n even if you do not know what it is in advance. You can also find out whether the matrix is square or not.
For example:
function y = dosomething(x)
[ m n ] = size(x);
if m == n
fprintf('The matrix is square \n');
else
fprintf('The matrix is NOT square \n');
end
...
end

You already posted this as a separate question.

Are you trying to give a variable as an input, whose input is given dynamically during run time.

First I'd like to thank you.
Ok, here is my problem. I need to diagonalize a matrix size n x n. It's elements have variable n (size) in it.
It looks like this: [tex]\begin{bmatrix} tn&n-1&n-2&\cdots\\ n-1&t(n-1)&n-2&\cdots\\ n-2&n-2&t(n-2)&\cdots\\ \vdots&\vdots&& \end{bmatrix}[/tex]
And I need to find "t" so the determinant = 0.
ps: I hope this "tex code" helps.

The tex code does not help (at least not for me). Can you please convert the tex code to a PNG file, and then post it somewhere online where we can see it? Thanks.

I do not happen to "read TeX" either..
