Is there a lookup function in matlab?

Hello,
I am simulating a markov chain using the code below.
transC = [zeros(size(T,1),1), cumsum(T,2)]; %cumulative sum of rows, we will use this to decide on the next step.
n = 10000;
states = zeros(1,n); %storage of states
states(1) = 32; %start at state 1 (or whatever)
for ii = 2:n
%Generate a random number and figure out where it falls in the cumulative sum of that state's trasition matrix row
[~,states(ii)] = histc(rand,transC(states(ii-1),:));
end
It combines a transition probability matrix and a random number to return a sequence of states. e.g 1,2,4,2,5,4,3.....
However, the states are actually letter codes, e.g AA, AC, DC
I have a have a variable called 'convert' where I have a list of the states and their corresponding letter codes. For example
1 AA
2 AC
3 DC
. .
. .
How could I lookup the actual state names and return them in a new variable?
Thank you

Presumably your variable is a cell array where the first column is the state number (kind of unnecessary actually) and the second column is the letter code. So to get the letter code from some variable stateNumber that contains an integer, you'd simply do:
letterCode = convert{stateNumber, 2}; % convert is your cell array variable.

Thank you, it works.
Is there documentation for this? I don't understand how it works, as silly as that sounds.

This is just array indexing of a cell array.

Also you could look at containers.map
