Add Cells to Cell Array
This example shows how to add cells to a cell array.
Create a 1-by-3 cell array.
C = {1, 2, 3}
C=1×3 cell array
{[1]}
{[2]}
{[3]}
Assign data to a cell outside the current dimensions. MATLAB® expands the cell array to a rectangle
that includes the specified subscripts. Any intervening cells contain empty arrays.
C{4,4} = 44
C=4×4 cell array
{[
1]}
{[
2]}
{[
3]}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{0x0 double}
{[
44]}
Add cells without specifying a value by assigning an empty array as the contents of a cell. C is now a
5-by-5 cell array.
C{5,5} = []
C=5×5 cell array
Columns 1 through 4
{[
