Matlab curly brackets and a dot

Hi,

first time i have seen it, i would like to know what it means:

variable{place?}.other_variable=some number

from the code itself:

It's a cell

MATLAB has more than just numeric arrays:

Curly braces could refer to a table or a cell array.

Dot indexing could refer to a table or a structure array.

In either case, more efficient data design would likely use one non-scalar structure (or one table), rather than nesting lots of separate scalar structures inside a cell arrray. Inefficient data design like that should not be copied.
