MATLAB: Concatenate cell arrays element-wise

Question

Hi, I have two cell arrays: A = {'a','b'}, and C = {'c','d'}.

How can I write a loop to take each element of A and concatenated it with each element of C?

Result = {'ac','ad','bc','bd'}

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,

Sushma

Answer 1

out = strcat(A(kron(1:2,[1,1])),C(kron([1,1],1:2)));

or

[y,x]=ndgrid(1:2);
out = strcat(A(x(:)),C(y(:)));
