MATLAB: How to populate a cell array without a for loop

Question

I find that I often create a cell array by writing code of this general format:

n = size(matrix, 1);
cell_array = cell(n, 1);
for i = 1:n
    cell_array{i} = function(matrix(i, :), other_variables);
end

Is there a way to do this in one line, without a for loop?

Answer 1

cell_array = arrayfun( @(IDX) function(matrix(IDX,:), other_variables), (1:n).', 'uniform', 0);
