num2cell

Returns a cell array after converting a complex, 2D matrix, scalar or string input.

Syntax

R = num2cell(m)

R = num2cell(m, d)

Inputs

m
Type: complex | number | double | integer | matrix | string
d (optional)
Dimension that specifies the number of rows or columns in the output, R. A value of 1 will result in R having one row. A value of 2 will result in R having one column.
Type: Positive integer

Outputs

R
Type: cell

Examples

Converts a matrix to a cell: 
R = num2cell([1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6])
R =
{
  [1,1] 1
  [1,2] 2
  [1,3] 3
  [2,1] 4
  [2,2] 5
  [2,3] 6
}
Converts a matrix to a cell, with the output having one row: 
R = num2cell([1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6], 1)
R =
{
  [1,1] [Matrix] 2 x 1
  1
  4
  [1,2] [Matrix]
  2
  5
  [1,3] [Matrix] 2 x 1
  3
  6}
Converts a matrix to a cell with the output having one column: 
R = num2cell([1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6], 2)
R =
{
  [1,1] [Matrix] 1 x 3
  1  2  3
  [2,1] [Matrix] 1 x 3
  4  5  6
}
