Change row vector to column vector

Question

How can I change this into a column, at the moment all 750 entries are on one row?

p = normal(1:750)-1;

I have tried:

colum         


        

Answer 1

It is common practice in MATLAB to use the colon operator : for converting anything into a column vector. Without knowing or caring if normal is a row vector or a column vector, you can force p to be a column vector, like so:

p = p(:);

After this, p is guaranteed to be a column vector.
