create a cell array in matlab

To create a cell array in MATLAB, you can use the cell function. The cell function creates a cell array of a specified size, where each element is an empty matrix. Here's an example:

main.m
% Create a 2x3 cell array
myCellArray = cell(2, 3);
52 chars
3 lines

This will create a 2x3 cell array, where each cell contains an empty matrix. You can access and modify the elements of the cell array using standard indexing notation. For example:

main.m
% Set the element in the second row and third column to a string
myCellArray{2, 3} = 'Hello, world!';

% Access the element in the first row and second column
disp(myCellArray{1, 2});
184 chars
6 lines

This will set the element in the second row and third column to the string 'Hello, world!', and then display the element in the first row and second column.

Note that cell arrays can contain elements of different types, including other cell arrays.
