If you need to store something more complicated than numbers in the
variables, you should consider using a cell array. Something like

  b = cell (3, 1);
  b {1} = "This corresponds to b_1";
  b {2} = complex (3, 1);
  b {3} = "And this corresponds to b_3";

and so forth.

I once (many years ago) had to maintain some software another guy wrote
that used sequential variable naming and it was a major pain. For your
own mental wellness I would really consider another solution than using
b1, b2, ... :-)
