Cell Arrays

In assignments, you can use content indexing to access only a single cell, not a
subset of cells. For example, the statements A{1,:} = value and B = A{1,:}
are both invalid. However, you can use a subset of cells any place you would
normally use a comma-separated list of variables (for example, as function
inputs or when building an array). See “Replacing Lists of Variables with
Cell Arrays” on page 2-108 for details.
Assigning Cells. For cell indexing, assign the double array cell to X:
X = A(1,1)
X =
[3x5 double]
X isa1-by-1cellarray:
whos X
Name Size Bytes Class
X 1x1 180 cell
For content indexing, assign the contents of the first cell of row 1 to Y:
Y = A{1,1}
Y =
19.0026 9.7196 9.1294 8.8941 18.4363
4.6228 17.8260 0.3701 12.3086 14.7641
12.1369 15.2419 16.4281 15.8387 3.5253
Y is a 3-by-5 double array
whos Y
Name Size Bytes Class
Y 3x5 120 double
Assigning Multiple Cells. Assigning multiple cells with cell indexing is
similar to assigning a single cell. MATLAB creates a new cell array, each cell
of which contains a cell array.
