get the actual value from a cell into a structure in matlab

To get the actual value from a cell into a structure in Matlab, you can use curly braces to access the cell value and assign it to a structure field. Here's an example:

main.m
% create a cell array with some data
data_cell = {'apple', 5, [1 2 3]};

% create an empty structure
data_struct = struct();

% assign each cell value to a structure field
data_struct.name = data_cell{1};
data_struct.quantity = data_cell{2};
data_struct.numbers = data_cell{3};
278 chars
11 lines

Now you can access the values in the structure like this:

main.m
>> data_struct.name
ans =
    'apple'

>> data_struct.quantity
ans =
     5

>> data_struct.numbers
ans =
     1     2     3
125 chars
12 lines

Note that the curly braces {} are used to access the cell value, and the dot . is used to create the structure field.
