matlab cell

A cell in MATLAB is a data structure that can hold different types of data, such as numbers, strings, and even other cells. It is similar to an array, but it can hold data of different sizes and types in each element. Cells are created using curly braces {} and each element is separated by a comma.

For example, the following code creates a cell array with three elements, each containing different types of data:

myCell = {'hello', 123, [1 2 3]};

To access an element in a cell array, you can use curly braces {} and the index of the element. For example:

myString = myCell{1}; % returns 'hello'
myNumber = myCell{2}; % returns 123
myArray = myCell{3}; % returns [1 2 3]

Cells are commonly used in MATLAB for storing and manipulating heterogeneous data, such as data from different sensors or measurements. They are also used in functions that need to return multiple outputs of different types.
