MATLAB: Assign summary of a category to new variables

Question

Hi everyone,

I have the following code:

A = categorical({'plane'; 'car'; 'train'; 'car'; 'plane'});
summary(A)

here is the output:

>> Untitled
     car        2 
     plane      2 
     train      1

I want to assign the summary to a new variable. So I tried using b=summary(A), and got:

>> Untitled
Error using categorical/summary (line 98)
Too many output arguments.
Error in Untitled (line 2)
b=summary(A)

please help me fix this problem

Thanks

Peng

Answer 1

You can do this,

>> b=evalc('summary(A)')
    b =
         car        2 
         plane      2 
         train      1
