How to append 3 dimension array( matrix) for example in MATLAB M(:,:,i) = b.
and i don’t know how far ‘i’ will go. so please give solution for initial matrix is blank rather than zeros.
Thank You.

You use the cat function with the dims keyword (Arrays · The Julia Language):

C = cat(A, B; dims=3)

Another alternative is ElasticArrays.jl. The example in the README is similar to what you describe in your post.

A=rand(1:10, 2,3,2)
B=rand(1:10, 2,3,2)

[A;;;B]  


A=rand(1:10, 2,3,2,1)
B=rand(1:10, 2,3,2,2)

[A;;;;B]

To handle concatenation of empty matrices you may need to define a user function. Something like cat2() below, just to give an idea:

cat2(A,B) = isempty(B) ? A : isempty(A) ? B : [A;;;;B]

I hadn’t paid enough attention to the specific request.
By modifying the @DNF solution in a “dirty” way, maybe you get the desired result (I have not done many tests)

cat(A, B ; dims=1+!isempty(A)*2)
