This example shows how to create a cell array using the {} operator
or the cell function.
When you have data to put into a cell array, create the array
using the cell array construction operator, {}:
myCell = {1, 2, 3;
'text', rand(5,10,2), {11; 22; 33}}Like all MATLAB® arrays, cell arrays are rectangular, with
the same number of cells in each row. myCell is
a 2-by-3 cell array:
myCell =
[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
'text' [5x10x2 double] {3x1 cell}You also can use the {} operator to create
an empty 0-by-0 cell array,
C = {}If you plan to add values to a cell array over time or in a
loop, you can create an empty n-dimensional array
using the cell function:
emptyCell = cell(3,4,2)
emptyCell is a 3-by-4-by-2 cell array, where
each cell contains an empty array, []:
emptyCell(:,:,1) =
[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
emptyCell(:,:,2) =
[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
