print first element of cell to screen with text in matlab

To print the first element of a cell array along with additional text in MATLAB, you can use the curly braces to index the first element of the cell and concatenate it with the desired text using string concatenation. Here's an example:

main.m
myCell = {'first', 'second', 'third'};
fprintf('The first element is: %s\n', [ 'My cell contains the ' myCell{1} ' element.' ]);
129 chars
3 lines

This will output:

main.m
The first element is: My cell contains the first element.
58 chars
2 lines
