Equivalent of Mathematica Table in Matlab?

Question

How to vectorize the following code in Matlab?

m = meshgrid(1:n);
for i = 1:n
    for j = 1:n
        m(i,j) = max(i,j);
    end
end

Another way to think of the question would be: how to implement the Mathematica command:

Table[Max[i,j],{i,1,n},{j,1,n}]:

in Matlab.

Answer 1

With implicit expansion,

m = max([1:n].',[1:n]);

For n = 5:

m =

   1   2   3   4   5
   2   2   3   4   5
   3   3   3   4   5
   4   4   4   4   5
   5   5   5   5   5
