Exercise 5
Cell Array and Character Array
1. Write a program to create a cell array of size 10, which contains Sr no. , colors and
each person is allotted to the color.
Logic:
- Create two lists: one for colors, one persons.
- Initialize an empty 10×3 cell array structure.
- Fill each row with Sr No., color, and person.
- Print each row using formatted fprintf function.
Code:

2. Write a program to take the cell array from above example to perform following
actions.
i. Access a cells of cell array using () and {} brackets. (One cell of color and one
of a person)
ii. Delete a cell. (One of color and one of person)
iii. Replace deleted cells with its respective data.
Logic:
- Create 10×3 cell array with serials, colors, persons.
- Access color using () and person using {}.
- Assign empty [] using {} to "delete" content.
- Display the array after deleting those two cells.
- Replace deleted values by assigning original data back.

Write a program to demonstrate the concatenation of 4 cell arrays vertically and
horizontally.
Logic:
- Define four cell arrays with two elements each.
- Use square brackets for both concatenation types.
- Horizontal concatenation uses commas or space.
- Vertical concatenation uses semicolons between arrays.
- Display results using variable names directly in script.

4. Write a program to demonstrate intersect function:
i. Create a two cell arrays consists of character vectors of size 1X8. (Display
both cases one with trailing spaces and one without the trailing spaces. Use
strings instead of number).
Logic:
- Create cell array with trailing spaces in strings.
- Create second cell array without trailing spaces in strings.
- Remove trailing spaces using strtrim on first array.
- Use intersect to find common elements between arrays.
- Display both arrays and their intersection results clearly.
Code:
Output:

ii. Create one character vector and one cell array of size 1X8. (Use strings
instead of number).
Logic:
- Convert character vector into a cell array of strings.
- Create a cell array with multiple string elements.
- Use intersect to find common strings in both arrays.
- Display both the character vector (as cell) and array.
- Print the intersection showing common elements between them.
Code:
Output:

5. Write a program to demonstrate the concatenation of rectangular character
array vertically. (Display both the cases using functions).
Logic:
- Define two rectangular character arrays with equal column width.
- Vertically concatenate arrays using square brackets and semicolon.
- Display result directly using disp() in the main script.
- Create a function that accepts two character arrays.
- Inside function, concatenate and display the combined result.

6. Write a program to
demonstrate the
concatenation of
rectangular
character array horizontally. (Display both the cases using functions).
Logic:
- Arrays must have the same row count for concatenation.
- Columns should match in length for direct concatenation.
- For unequal rows, calculate the maximum row count.
- Pad the smaller array with spaces to match.
- Concatenate arrays horizontally using [A, B] after padding.
