MATLAB: Call a matrix in a matrix

Question

Can you define a matrix A (3×6) consisting of matrices B (3×3) and C (3×3) and then call these in such a way that

A = [ B ; C ]

A (1) = B and A (2) = C

Or will you always have to write A(1:3,:) to get B?

Answer 1

You can have cell like this:

B = rand(3);
C = rand(3);
A{1} = B;
A{2} = C;
