MATLAB: How to convert matrix to cell array of strings

cell arraymatrix manipulationstring

I want to convert the following:
 mat = [1 2 3; 4 5 6 ; 7 8 9];
into the following array of strings,
 arr = {'1,2(3)', '4,5(6)', '7,8(9)'};
How can I do that?

Best Answer

You could use sprintf.
 mat = [1 2 3; 4 5 6 ; 7 8 9];
 arr = cell(1, size(mat, 1));
 for k = 1:numel(arr)
     arr{k} = sprintf('%d,%d(%d)', mat(k,:));
 end
 arr = 
    '1,2(3)'    '4,5(6)'    '7,8(9)'
