How to combine two cell arrays to corresponding elements?

9 views (last 30 days)
I would like to combine the two cell values each has [1x1] elements. After combining them, I would like to get [1x2] elements in each cell. Please help me. Example:
A = [1, 2, 3];
B = [1, 2, 3, 4];
A_aug = num2cell(repmat(A, 4, 1)');
B_aug = num2cell(repmat(B, 3, 1));
C = cat(3, A_aug, B_aug)
C(:,:,1) =
[1] [1] [1] [1]
[2] [2] [2] [2]
[3] [3] [3] [3]
C(:,:,2) =
[1] [2] [3] [4]
[1] [2] [3] [4]
[1] [2] [3] [4]
Instead of above result I would like to get as follows:
C =
[1 1] [1 2] [1 3] [1 4]
[2 1] [2 2] [2 3] [2 4]
[3 1] [3 2] [3 3] [3 4]

C = cellfun( @(x,y) [x,y], A_aug, B_aug, 'UniformOutput', false )
should give the result you want. You can also do the equivalent for loop which is usually faster, but I prefer the cellfun version personally if speed is not an issue.
