num2cell

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

Syntax

R = num2cell(m)

R = num2cell(m, d)

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

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
}
