Error using vertcat - dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent

Hi,

I keep getting this error, Error using vertcat - dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent This is my code

W = [ones(1,56);1.41*ones(1,37);0.71*ones(1,16)];

Answer 1

[Roger Stafford]

In W you are asking that it have three rows, the first one with 56 elements, the second with only 37, and the third with 16. That is contrary to the requirement that all rows in a matrix have the same number of elements.

Answer 2

[Waseem Hussain]

Oh, what I actually wanted to do is have one row of all these values, how would I do that?

[Roger Stafford]

Change to:

W = [ones(1,56),1.41*ones(1,37),0.71*ones(1,16)];

That is, change the two semicolons to commas.
