Accessing Elements of Cell Arrays

The elements of a cell array can be accessed by the same method of accessing ordinary arrays, by the indexing method. Let us see this with the help of an example.

Example 4:

Output:

In MATLAB, cell arrays are a type of arrays which stores elements of different data types and sizes in different cells, or one could say that cell arrays allow users to store heterogeneous data into a single array. For example, let us create a cell array which holds the name and age of a person.

Example 1:

Output:

This will create a cell array of 1×3:

This was a simple example of cell arrays but, this is not a feasible way of creating them. So, we will now see better and efficient ways of creating and accessing the elements within.
