MATLAB: How to create a cell of strings from a vector

Question

I have the vector

x = [ 10.027 20.35 50.1 100.002 ]

which I would like to convert to the cell

x = { '10', '20', '50', '100' }.

How can I do this? I know I can use sprintf('%.0f\n', x) to get the formatting I want, but not how to turn the outputs into a cell of strings.

Answer 1

Encapsulate sprintf() into arrayfun():

arrayfun(@(in) sprintf('%.0f', in), x,'un',0)
