2 Data Types
[5x5 double] {2x2 cell}
Note that the right side of the assignment is enclosed in two sets of curly
braces. The first set represents cell (1,2) of cell array A. The second
“packages“ the 2-by-2 cell array inside the outer cell.
Building Nested Arrays with the cell Function
To nest cell arrays with the cell function, assign the output of cell to an
existing cell:
1 Create an empty 1-by-2 cell array.
A = cell(1,2);
2 Create a 2-by-2 cell array inside A(1,2).
A(1,2) = {cell(2,2)};
3 Fill A, including the nested array, using assignments.
A(1,1) = {magic(5)};
A{1,2}(1,1) = {[5 2 8; 7 3 0; 6 7 3]};
A{1,2}(1,2) = {'Test 1'};
A{1,2}(2,1) = {[2-4i 5+7i]};
A{1,2}(2,2) = {cell(1, 2)}
A{1,2}{2,2}(1) = {17};
Note the use of curly braces until the final level of nested subscripts. This is
required because you need to access cell contents to access cells within cells.
You can also build nested cell arrays with direct assignments using the
statements shown in step 3 above.
Indexing Nested Cell Arrays
To index nested cells, concatenate indexing expressions. The first set of
subscripts accesses the top layer of cells, and subsequent sets of parentheses
access successively deeper layers.
