How to divide 8 bit binary into two 4 bit?

For example A=11001111,

i want to break it as A1=1100 and A2=1111.

How it can be done in matlab?

Answer 1

[madhan ravi]

 A = '11001111'
 A = mat2cell(A, 1, [4, 4]);
 celldisp(A)

[madhan ravi]

Or:

 A = num2cell(reshape(A, 4, []).', 2);
 celldisp(A)

[sami ullah]

If i change A to like this

A = '1100'

A = mat2cell(A, 1, [4, 4]);

celldisp(A)

it gives the following error

Error using mat2cell (line 97)

Input arguments, D1 through D2, must sum to each dimension of the input matrix size, [1 4].'

I need output like this

A1=0000

A2=1100

[sami ullah]

I did it as:

N=12;

A=dec2bin(A,8)

A=mat2cell(A, 1, [4, 4]);

celldisp(A)

And it is done

Thanks
