MATLAB

hi
I want to convert 3 by 4 decimal matrix into equivalent 3 by 4 binary matrix
e.g
a=[10 9 8 7
    9 7 9 6
    1 2 3 8]
b=[1010 1001 1000 0111
   1001 0111 1001 0110

Note there's not such thing as
b=[1010 1001 1000 0111
   1001 0111 1001 0110
   0001 0010 0011 1000]
in matlab. Binary matrices don't exist in matlab.
The closest you can get is a cell array of string, which you'll obtain with:
a = [10 9 8 7
      9 7 9 6
      1 2 3 8]
b = reshape(cellstr(dec2bin(a)), size(a))
which produces:
b = 
  3×4 cell array  
    '1010'    '1001'    '1000'    '0111'
    '1001'    '0111'    '1001'    '0110'
    '0001'    '0010'    '0011'    '1000'
