Net setup for mac windows 10. This example compares cell and structure arrays, and shows how to store data in each type of array. Both cell and structure arrays allow you to store data of different types and sizes.
Structure Arrays
Cell Structure & Function Miss E. Mac's Classics
Structure arrays contain data in fields that you access by name.
Cells do everything from providing structure and stability to providing energy and a means of reproduction for an organism. The following 10 facts about cells will provide you with well known and perhaps little known tidbits of information about cells. An additional non-living layer present outside the cell membrane in some cells that provides structure, protection, and filtering mechanism to the cell is the cell wall. In a plant cell, the cell wall is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and proteins while in a fungal cell, it is composed of chitin.
For example, store patient records in a structure array.
Create a bar graph of the test results for each patient.
Cell Arrays
Cell arrays contain data in cells that you access by numeric indexing. Common applications of cell arrays include storing separate pieces of text and storing heterogeneous data from spreadsheets.
For example, store temperature data for three cities over time in a cell array.
Plot the temperatures for each city by date.
Other Container Arrays
Struct and cell arrays are the most commonly used containers for storing heterogeneous data. Tables are convenient for storing heterogeneous column-oriented or tabular data. Alternatively, use map containers, or create your own class.
