MATLAB: Arithmetic in Cell Arrays

Question

I have the following variables in Cell arrays. b_x{k}, x{k}, c{k}.

I want to perform the following operation within the cell array.

D{k} = sqrt((b{k} - x{k}).^2 + (c{k}).^2)

When doing this I realize that these arithmetic operations cannot be done through a cell array. So do I have to do it using generalized operations such as gadd, gsubtract etc? If yes then for the element wise square should I use 'gmultiply' twice? Is there no other way?

Thanks

Answer 1

D = cellfun( @(B, X, C) sqrt((B - X).^2 + C.^2), b, c, x);
