How can I assign values to elements with same index from multiple cells?

11 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a cell array with the same-size matrix in each cell, say,
a = cell(2);
[a{:}]=deal(rand(2));
and I want to change the first element of the matrix in each cell to values 1,2,3 and 4 respectively. Something equivalent to
a{:}(1,1) = 1:4;
would be ideal however this syntax doesn't work. Is there any other way?

The best solution is to avoid cell arrays and use multi-dimensional numeric arrays. then this task is trivial to achieve. See Guillaume's answer for an example of how to do this.

Matlab is not clever enough to expand inner indexing into outer cells (plus there's no guarantee it would work, some cells may not even have 4 elements). So you have to do it yourself and you don't have a choice but to use a loop:
vals = 1:4;
for idx = 1:numel(a)
a{idx}(1) = vals(idx);
end
However, if all the matrices are the same dimension, you could simply convert your cell array to a matrix, which then lets you use normal indexing. With your example:
alla = cat(3, a{:});
alla(1, 1, :) = 1:4;
%and if you want it back as a cell array
a = reshape(num2cell(alla, [1 2]), size(a))

[r c] = size(a);
val = 0;
for n1 = 1:r
for n2 = 1:c
val = val+1;
a{n1,n2}(1,1) = val;
end
end

Thank you guys for the comments and answers. I think I will go with Guillaume's suggestion of using multidimensional arrays.
