Place string in front of vector

I have a vector of numbers: num = [1:16]; I would like to place the character: 'B' in front of each number i that vector without using the for loop.

Are there any tricks to do this quickly?

The result should look like this:

[B1 B2 B3 B4........]

thanks.

I hope you're not trying to use EVAL to create separate variables with auto-generated names B1, B2,... That is a Notoriously Bad Thing To Do.

Answer 1

result = arrayfun(@(i) ['B',num2str(i)] , num , 'uni',0);

 [ '[' sprintf('B%d ',1:16) ']']
