Question

If I create a cell array using:

clear all
data = {rand(1,5),rand(1,4),rand(1,4),rand(1,6)};
a = cell(1,length(data));

how is it then possible to create a cell array in each cell of a which is the same length as the corresponding cell in data. I know this can easily be done using a loop, but how would it be possible by using the cellfun function?

Answer 1

Do you want something like that?

data = {rand(1,5),rand(1,4),rand(1,4),rand(1,6)};
a2=cellfun(@(x) cell(size(x)),data,'UniformOutput',0)
a2 = 
    {1x5 cell}    {1x4 cell}    {1x4 cell}    {1x6 cell}
