MATLAB: How to XOR two cells from the same cell array

arraycell arraysxor

Hello,
I have one array of size 1×1024. I want to XOR each cell of the array. The first cell remains the same.It is as follows
Let T represent the position of each cell, then
      CellT` = {Cell T XOR Cell(T-1) for T=2..1024
                Cell T               for T=1
Lets consider a 1×10 array.It is of the following form.
 X= ['0000000000000001'  '0000000000000010'  '0000000000000011'    '0000000000000100'  '0000000000000101'  '0000000000000110'  '0000000000000111'  '0000000000001000'  '0000000000001001'  '0000000000001010']
So I need to XOR the adjacent elements except the first one. Please help thanks in advance.

With "cell", do you mean you have a cell array or do you refer to the elements of a normal logical array? I suppose second, then it's just
T =
       1     1     0     0     1
>> XORT=xor(T(2:end),T(1:end-1))
XORT =
       0     1     0     1
In case it's really a cell array, you can either translate the cell array into a normal array (cell2mat) or apply cellfun here:
>> Tc=num2cell(T)
Tc = 
      [1]    [1]    [0]    [0]    [1]
>> XORTc=cellfun(@(x,y) xor(x,y),Tc(2:end),Tc(1:end-1))
XORTc =
       0     1     0     1
Hope that's answering your question!
