celldisp

Create a cell array.

C = {'row1',[1 2 3],3+4i;
     'row2',[2 4;1 3],{'innercells',42}}

C=2×3 cell array
    {'row1'}    {[   1 2 3]}    {[3.0000 + 4.0000i]}
    {'row2'}    {2x2 double}    {1x2 cell          }

Display the contents of each cell using the celldisp function. celldisp also displays the curly-brace indexing you can use to index into cells.

celldisp(C)

 
C{1,1} =
 
row1
 
 
C{2,1} =
 
row2
 
 
C{1,2} =
 
     1     2     3

 
 
C{2,2} =
 
     2     4
     1     3

 
 
C{1,3} =
 
   3.0000 + 4.0000i

 
 
C{2,3}{1} =
 
innercells
 
 
C{2,3}{2} =
 
    42

 

The last cell contains a cell array. celldisp also displays the contents of each cell from the inner cell array.

Call celldisp and specify a cell array as its first input argument. Since the first argument is not a workspace variable, and so does not have a name of its own, specify a name as the second argument. celldisp displays the cell array using this name.

celldisp({'row1',5,10},'myCells')

 
myCells{1} =
 
row1
 
 
myCells{2} =
 
     5

 
 
myCells{3} =
 
    10

 

Call celldisp without specifying a name. When there is no variable name or second input argument, celldisp displays ans as the name of the cell array.

celldisp({'row1',5,10})

 
ans{1} =
 
row1
 
 
ans{2} =
 
     5

 
 
ans{3} =
 
    10
