MATLAB Easiest way to assign elements of a vector to individual variables [duplicate]

Answer 1

Well, turns out there's no way to one-line this, so I wrote a function.

function varargout = deal_array(arr)
    s = numel(arr);
    n = nargout;

    if n > s
        error('Insufficient number of elements in array!');
    elseif n == 0
        return;
    end

    for i = 1:n
        varargout(i) = {arr(i)}; %#ok<AGROW>
    end
end

Answer 2

Convert to cell array.

pCell = num2cell(p);
[x,y,z] = pCell{:};

Answer 3

You can use deal:

[x y z] = deal( p(1), p(2), p(3) )
