MATLAB: Query data from 1xn struct

Question

Hi, I have a 1×3 struct just like below:

% Q(1)
Q(1).name='carrot';
Q(1).price=200;
Q(1).number=1000;
%Q(2)
Q(2).name='banana';
Q(2).price=200;
Q(2).number=2000;
%Q(3)
Q(3).name='apple';
Q(3).price=900;
Q(3).number=200;

How can I quickly query "price" of "banana" or "number" of "apple"?

Is there any shorcut beside manually gathering name to string array (Q.name returns scattering outputs)

The table data type is probably a better choice for your usage. Then you can also easily index.
