MATLAB: Put data into a matrix contained in a cell

Question

I made the following cell:

Grid={1,1,1,1,1,1,[2,2]}

and was under the impression that the [2,2] term in position 7 in the cell was a 2×2 matrix. When I try to put values into the cell, ie:

Grid={1,1,1,1,1,1,[1,1]}='methanol'

I get the following error: The right hand side of this assignment has too few values to satisfy the left hand side.

This leads me to believe that the [2,2] in my cell assignment does not actually create a matrix in the cell, but does something else entirely. No matter how many values I try to feed on the right hand side of the above, I still get the error.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Your expression is not correct, you cant write

A=B=C

Why do you think that [2,2] is a 2x2 matrix? obviously, it's a 1x2 vector

Can you explain what are you expecting as result?
