MATLAB: How to pass cell array as input to function

Question

I have a cell array which contains 10 {1×1 cell} cells now I want to pass this cell array as input to a function and access the element inside the {1×1 cell} how should I pass the cell array?

Answer 1

" I want to pass this cell array as input to a function and access the element inside"

There are (at least) three interpretations of that.

Pass each element in as a single input

C = arrayfun(@(x){x},1:10);  % demo data


z = myFun(C{:}); 
function z = myFun(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,j,k)
    z = a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+j+k; 
end

Condense the inputs into a vector and pass as 1 input

C = arrayfun(@(x){x},1:10);  % demo data
y = myFun2([C{:}]); 
function z = myFun2(n)
    z = sum(n); 
end

Pass the entire cell array

C = {1,2};        % demo data
y = myFun2(C);
function z = myFun2(n)
    z = C{1} + c{2}; 
    % or 
    % z = sum([C{:}]); 
end
