Input variable name in a for loop

Let's say I have variables named w1, w2, w3, w4... from w1 up to w10

How do I plot them all seperately using a for loop? Something that works similar to:

for z=1:10
    figure
    plot(w[insert number here])
end

Numbering variables like that is a sign that you are doing something wrong.

Trying to access those variables will force you into writing slow, complex, inefficient code that is liable to bugs and is difficult to debug. Read this to know why:

The much simpler and much more efficient approach is to use indexing into one array (which could be numeric, cell, structure, table, etc). You should use indexing, just as the MATLAB documentation recommends.

Oh, alright thanks I'll look into that

Stephen already suggested the correct way. For your current code, a quick fix is to define a cell array

C = {w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8, w9, 10}
for z=1:10
    figure
    plot(C{z})
end
