creating cell array in a loop in matlab

To create a cell array in a loop, you need to preallocate a cell array of the desired size, and then fill in each element of the cell array within the loop.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to create a cell array of strings in a loop:

main.m
% Preallocate cell array of size 5
myCellArray = cell(1, 5);

% Loop to populate cell array
for i = 1:5
    myCellArray{i} = ['Element ', num2str(i)];
end

% Display resulting cell array
disp(myCellArray);
206 chars
11 lines

In this example, we preallocate a cell array myCellArray with cell(1, 5) to have five elements. We then loop from 1 to 5, and set the value of each element i to the string 'Element ' concatenated with the index i.

At the end of the loop, we display the resulting cell array using disp(myCellArray).

You can customize this code for your own needs by changing the size of the preallocated cell array and the contents of each element assignment within the loop.
