MATLAB: Append column given a ‘year’ condition

append columncell arrayMATLAByear condition

I have a cell type variable A with 30000 rows and 29 columns, for example:
b1 *b2* b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 ...
A={7 1999 28,14 1388 33 78 39021
8 2002 44,44 150 4 56 60012
12 2002 54,46 100 21 49 40701
13 1998 46,41 189 22 44 30901...}.
Column b2 gives different years. I am trying to a ppend a new column that, for example, gives 1 if the year in b2 is after 2000 and 0 if the year in b2 is before 2000 . For instance in this example I would get:
b1 *b2* b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 ... b30
A={7 1999 28,14 1388 33 78 39021 0
8 2002 44,44 150 4 56 60012 1
12 2002 54,46 100 21 49 40701 1
13 1998 46,41 189 22 44 30901... 0}.
Can someone help me please? Thank you.

A(:, end+1) = num2cell([A{:, 2}] >= 2000);
