MATLAB: Cell Arrays and loops

Question

The question is:

Write a script which first defines a cell array of directory names and then uses the command mkdir in a loop to create these directories.

I'm aware that mkdir makes a new directory, I just don't know how to firstly define a cell array of directory names and then use a loop, which I assume is a for loop.

Answer 1

A cell array uses the curly braces. E.g.,

MyNames = {'ThisName','ThatName','OtherName'};

The number of elements is simply numel(MyNames).

Each element is addressed using the curly braces also. E.g., MyNames{1}, MyNames{2}, etc.
