What is the pattern?

Z(1,1) = 1
Z(1,2) = 2
...
Z(1,10) = 10
Z(2,1) = 2
Z(2,2) = 4
...
Z(2,10) = 20
Z(3,1) = 3
...
Z(10,10) = 100

% Use nested for loops to accomplish

Z = [];
for i = 1:10
for j = 1:10
Z(i,j) = i*j;
end
end
display(Z)
% Otherwise, could use a single for loop using a row vector
Z = [];
v = 1:10;
for k = 1:10
Z(k,:) = k*v;
end
display(Z)

Second Part, create A with diagonals of Z

What is the pattern?
A(1) = Z(1,1)
A(2) = Z(2,2)
...
A(10) = Z(10,10)

% Use a single for loop to accomplish

A = [];
for q = 1:10
A(q) = Z(q,q);
end

display(A)
% Third Part, create B with odd rows of Z
B = [];
[rows,columns] = size(Z);
row_numbers = 1:2:rows;
B = Z(row_numbers,:)
% Fourth Part, create a surface plot
surf(Z)
title('Organized table')
xlabel('Column number')
ylabel('Row number')
zlabel('Value')
