Using the C++ Math Library

Referencing a Subset of a Cell Array

To obtain a subset of the cells in a cell array, use the colon() index or a vector or matrix index to access a group of cells. For example, to extract the second row of the cell array N, write this code:

B = N(2,colon());

The result, B, is a 1-by-2 cell array containing the complex number 2-4i and the integer 7.

B = N(2,:) performs the same operation in MATLAB.

Cell arrays support vector-based (one-dimensional) indexing as well. To extract the first and last elements of N, first make a vector v that contains the integers 1 and 4. Use horzcat() to construct v.

B = N(horzcat(1, 4));

The result, B, is a 1-by-2 cell array that contains a 2-by-2 matrix (element (1,1) of N) and the scalar 7 (element (2,2) of N).

B = N([1 4]) performs the same operation in MATLAB.
