add element to cell in matlab

To add an element to a cell array in MATLAB, you would first need to index the cell where you want to add the element. Then you can use the curly braces {} operator to access the contents of the cell as a regular array, and add the element to the end of the array using the end keyword.

Here's an example:

main.m
% create a 3x3 cell array of strings
my_cell = { 'foo', 'bar', 'baz'; 'qux', 'quux', 'corge'; 'grault', 'garply', 'waldo' };

% add a new string to the end of the first row
my_cell{1, end+1} = 'fred';

% print the updated cell array
disp(my_cell);
248 chars
9 lines

This would output:

main.m
foo     bar     baz     fred
qux     quux    corge
grault  garply  waldo
73 chars
4 lines

In this example, we first created a 3x3 cell array with some example strings. Then we added a new string 'fred' to the end of the first row by indexing the cell using {1, end+1} and assigning the value. Finally, we printed the updated cell array to verify that the new element was added successfully.
