CELL Cell Array of Empty Matrices
Section: Array Generation and Manipulations
Usage
Creates a cell array of empty matrix entres. Two seperate syntaxes are possible. The first syntax specifies the array dimensions as a sequence of scalar dimensions:y = cell(d1,d2,...,dn).
The resulting array has the given dimensions, and is filled with
all zeros. The type of y
is cell
, a cell array.
The second syntax specifies the array dimensions as a vector,
where each element in the vector specifies a dimension length:
y = cell([d1,d2,...,dn]).
This syntax is more convenient for calling zeros
using a
variable for the argument. In both cases, specifying only one
dimension results in a square matrix output.
Example
The following examples demonstrate generation of some zero arrays using the first form.--> cell(2,3,2) ans = (:,:,1) = [] [] [] [] [] [] (:,:,2) = [] [] [] [] [] [] --> cell(1,3) ans = [] [] []
The same expressions, using the second form.
--> cell([2,6]) ans = [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] --> cell([1,3]) ans = [] [] []
