How to write such a matrix

Hi,

i need help. I want to create matrix which look like this:

     1     B     B     B     B     
     A     C     D     D     D     
     A     C     D     D     D     
     A     D     D     D     D     
     A     D     D     D     D     
     A     D     D     D     D     
     A     D     D     D     D

Elements: A = 0:1:6, B = 0:1:4, C = A*B, D = 12.

Thank you very much.

can so? (sorry for my english)

1 B1 B2 B3 B4

A1 C D D D

A2 C D D D

A3 D D D D

A4 D D D D

A5 D D D D

A6 D D D D

Elements: A = 1:6, B = 1:4, C(i,j) = A(i)*B(j), D = 12.

Please specify the dimensions of C." A=0:6, B = 0:4, C = A*B" creates an error.

Answer 1

[Paulo Silva]

m=ones(7,5);
A=2;B=3;C=A*B;D=12;
m(1,2:end)=B;
m(2:end,1)=A;
m(2:end,2:end)=D;
m(2:3,2)=C;
m

What's wrong with the method that you have above; i.e. defining it explicitly? It'll be the fastest and easiest to read.
