 How to delete an element k in a cell array in a for loop? l have a set called neighbour_n{i} where i varies from 1 to n 
But it returns me this error :

??? Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

Error in ==> @(d)setxor([d{:}],[k])

Error in ==> broadcastelimination at 118 cellfun(fun, neighbour_n, 'UniformOutput', false)

neighbour_n=cell(N,1);
N = numel(neighbour_n);
for i=1:N
                 if (ismember(k, neighbour_n{i}));
                      idx = find(cell2mat(neighbour_n{i}) == k);
                       neighbour_n{i}(idx) = [];
                end
end

l did it but it doesn't work here is my complete code :

I have no idea what "it doesn't delete the values" means.

The setdiff documentation states "setdiff(A,B) returns the data in A that is not in B."

This means if you still have values in the output that you do not expect to have then the you need to check that the input values are correct. If an element of A is not in B then it will be in the output.

And I note that the cyclist is also giving advice on your original question here:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/182868-delete-an-element-in-a-cell-array-in-a-for-loop

Which is a good example of why I said at the start of this thread that you should not ask new questions about the same topic, but you should keep communicating on the same thread until the topic is resolved.

l think the problem is in the last instruction it deletes the values but doesn't update the the neighbour_n when it displays.?

display(['Display new neighbour of  ', num2str(i), ' are: ', num2str(neighbour_n{i})]);

Not sure what's going on in your parallel discussion, but if you have a cell array called neighbour and you want to delete the k'th cell from that cell array, you can do this:

neighbour_n(k) = []; % Note parentheses, not braces.

You don't need to put it in a loop. See the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array.3F to get a better intuitive feeling for cell arrays.

no for exemple l have n = 3 so neighbours_n{1}={1,4,7,8} neighbours_n{2}={1,7,9,13,27} neighbours_n{3}={8,4,7,12} and k= {4,7,12,27} if ismember(k,neighbours_n{i}) neighbours_n{1}={1,7,8} neighbours_n{2}={1,9,13} neighbours_n{3}={8}.

My problem right now is how to update the display of the neighbours after the execution ,it displays the initial values of neighbours_n{i} how to update that? here is my code

   X=100; 
  Y=100;
  N=200; %number of nodes 
  nodesX(1)=rand*X;
  nodesY(1)=rand*Y;
for i=2:N
    nodesX(i)=rand*X;
    nodesY(i)=rand*Y;
    d(i-1) =((nodesX(i)-nodesX(i-1)).^2+(nodesY(i)-nodesY(i-1)).^2).^0.5;
        while (d(i-1)>200)
           nodesX(i)=rand*X;
           nodesY(i)=rand*Y;
           d(i-1) =((nodesX(i)-nodesX(i-1)).^2+(nodesY(i)-nodesY(i-1)).^2).^0.5;
        end
end
