Get size of each element in a cell

Hello there,

I would like to know if it is possible to get the number of elements in a given cell by "indexing".

I did a short workaround like this:

%create some random data 
myCell = {rand(100,3),rand(220,5),rand(1111,4), ["Mercury","Gemini","Apollo";
"Skylab","Skylab B","ISS"]};
% getting required information using a loop
 for i=1:4
    size(myCell{i})
 end
 

The output will be as follows:

ans = 100 3

ans = 220 5

ans = 1111 4

ans = 2 3

solving the probelm. What I am asking is if I can do something more elegant such as:

 size(myCell{1:4})  

instead of using the for loop. If I try above statement the error message is:

Error using size

Dimension argument must be a positive integer scalar within indexing range

Thank you!

You can use the cellfun command:

cellfun(@size,myCell,'UniformOutput',false)
