Cell Array manipulation (matlab)

[gfd43tg]

Homework Statement

Write a line of MATLAB code that uses the cell array A to generate the string 'Cal Golden Bears'

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

  A = {'Cal', 'Golden', 'Bears', [5 7], {[1 2 3 4]}}

A = 

    'Cal'    'Golden'    'Bears'    [1x2 double]    {1x1 cell}

The furthest I've gotten so far is A(1:3)

 A(1:3)

ans = 

    'Cal'    'Golden'    'Bears'

But I don't know how to concatenate them so that they are all one string. I think I am just supposed to use one command that can create the string.

Have you tried strjoin?

I never heard of that command before. Is there anyway by manipulating the cell array sort of how I did with A(1:3)?

strjoin(A(1:3))

ans =

Cal Golden Bears

Still misses the ' '

 

[jedishrfu]

cant you then say x = "'" + strjoin(...) + "'" ?

note: I quoted the single quote not sure if you'll need to backslash it too? ie "\'"

One possible solution is to use the strjoin() function in MATLAB:

strjoin(A(1:3), " ")

This will output the string 'Cal Golden Bears'. The strjoin() function takes in a cell array and a delimiter (in this case, a space) and joins all elements of the cell array into one string.
