for loop number in to cell

Hi, I had a problem to put the number into a empty cell.

For example:

%start
shift={}
for xxx=-5:5
  %here is the code that I need help
  shift=shift+xxx
end

I expect the result will become shift={'-5','-4',...'0',...'4','5'}

Thank you for helping

I had try search the answer but there is none of this kind of question.

This is MATLAB... why waste time using a loop?

 cellstr(strjust(num2str((-5:5).'),'left'))

or

 arrayfun(@num2str,-5:5,'UniformOutput',false)

or

 strsplit(sprintf('%d,',-5:5),',') % and remove the last cell

It is because I am not familiar to the function. So I am trying to use a for loop to put each value into a cell,or a arry

MATLAB is not a low-level language that needs loops to solve everything... practice reading and navigating the documentation, then you will know how to find functions and use MATLAB efficiently:
