matlab Is there something like list comprehension as it is in python?

Question

I am looking for something like list comprehensions in matlab however I couldnt find anything like this in the documentary.

In python it would be something like

A=[i/50 for i in range(50)]

Answer 1

You can do:

(1:50)/50

Or for something more general, you can do:

f=@(x) (x/50);
arrayfun(f,1:50)

Answer 2

Matlab is very fond of 'vectorizing'. You would write your example as:

A = (0:49) ./ 50

Matlab hates loops and therefore list comprehension. That said, take a look at the arrayfun function.
