convert a cell to a num type in matlab

To convert a cell to a numeric type in Matlab, you can use the cell2mat function. This function concatenates the contents of a cell into a matrix of the same data type. If the cells contain only numerical values, the resulting matrix will be a numeric array.

Here's how to use cell2mat:

main.m
% Create a cell array of numerical values
myCell = {1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6};

% Convert the cell array to a numeric array
myNumericArray = cell2mat(myCell);

% View the resulting numeric array
disp(myNumericArray);
209 chars
9 lines

The output will be:

main.m
1     2     3
4     5     6
28 chars
3 lines

Note that if the cells contain non-numeric values, calling cell2mat will result in an error.
