I would like to know the number of values that are less than 0.0038 in a cell of 41 X 41 double.

For example, I have the cell below:

B = num2cell(rand(41));

When I applied such condition

sum(A(:) < 0.0038)

, it gave me an error, which is Operator '<' is not supported for operands of type 'cell'.

So, do I need to convert the cell to a matrix and apply the operation? Or is there any specific way to use this condition on the cell directly?

B = num2cell(rand(41));

Why use such an inefficient approach to storing numeric data?

Most likely your task would be much simpler if you used a numeric array.

Use the cellfun and nnz functions —

B = num2cell(rand(41));
A = nnz(cellfun(@(x)x<0.0038, B))
A = 5
