iscell

Determine if input is cell array

Syntax

tf = iscell(A)

Description

tf = iscell(A) returns 1 (true) if A is a cell array. Otherwise, it returns 0 (false).

Examples

Determine if Arrays Are Cell Arrays

Create a cell array.

A = {1,2,3;
     'text',rand(5,10,2),{11; 22; 33}}

A=2×3 cell array
    {[   1]}    {[          2]}    {[     3]}
    {'text'}    {5x10x2 double}    {3x1 cell}

Determine if A is a cell array.

 tf = iscell(A)

tf = logical
   1

Create a numeric array. Test it by using the iscell function.

B = rand(2,5)

B = 2×5

    0.1622    0.3112    0.1656    0.2630    0.6892
    0.7943    0.5285    0.6020    0.6541    0.7482

tf = iscell(B)

tf = logical
   0
