How to solve : Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch error

Dear guys I am new in MATLAB. It is a simple code which i make it. but i get this error message"Subscripted assignment dimension mismatch." I dont know whats the problem with that. would you please help me?

A=[]
A=randi(10,2,3)
for  i=1:2
    for j=1:3
        if A(i,j)>3
            A(i,j)='ok';
        elseif A(i,j)==2
            A(i,j)='no'
        else
            A(i,j)=' ';
        end
    end
end

A is a numeric array, which you then try to force non-scalar char vector into the elements of. It is not possible to put multiple array elements into one element of another array. If r and c are scalars, then:

X(r,c) = 1; % okay
X(r,c) = [1,2] % an error

 still I have a question.when I change the code to the following form it works too.why? the last code and new one, almost are the same. but why the original code in my question doesn't work but the modified version works? what is the difference between them? thanks in advance

the modifiied version is here A=[] A=randi(10,2,3) for i=1:2 for j=1:3 if A(i,j)>3 A(i,j)=0; elseif A(i,j)==2 A(i,j)=2 else A(i,j)=6; end end end

>> A=randi(10,2,3)
A =
     9     2     7
    10    10     1
>> A(1,1) = 2
A =
     2     2     7
    10    10     1
>> A(2,1) = 'no'
Assignment has more non-singleton rhs dimensions than non-singleton subscripts 
>> double('no')
ans =
   110   111

Use cell - array ( Aout) for output data in your function

A=randi(10,2,3);
Aout = cell(size(A);

for  i=1:2
    for j=1:3
        if A(i,j)>3
            Aout{i,j}='ok';
        elseif A(i,j)==2
            Aout{i,j}='no'
        else
            Aout{i,j}=' ';
        end
    end
end

thanks@Andrei Bobrov. It works for me. but still I have a question.when I change the code to the following form it works too.why? the last code and new one, almost are the same. but why the original code in my question doesn't work but the modified version works? what is the difference between them? thanks in advance
