Turn an Array into a Column Vector in MATLAB

 Conversion of an Array into a Column Vector. This conversion can be done using a(:) operation. A(:) reshapes all elements of A into a single column vector. This has no effect if A is already a column vector.

Example 1 

Matlab

% MATLAB code for Conversion of an array
% into a column vector
a = [2 4 6 8] % Initializing an array of some elements

% Converting above array into a column
% vector using a(:) operation
Column_Vector = a(:)

Output:

Example 2

Matlab

% MATLAB code for Conversion of an
% array matrix into a column vector.
a = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6] % Initializing an array

% Converting above array matrix into a column
% vector matrix using a(:) operation
Column_Vector_matrix = a(:)

Output:
