How to use Cell Structures and fields

So I'm relatively new with MATLAB and am trying to make a program to choose your car based on mpg, price etc. I have

Car(1).name = 'BMW 3 Series'

Car(1).type = 'Sedan'

Car(1).mpg = 30

Car(1).price = 40,000

Car(1).seats= 5

for example and other vehicles and want to narrow it down. How would I say I want only cars with <35 mpg and that cost $40k or under and then a car with say 5 seats and so on until all the questions are answered to reveal a car(s).

Hi Jake,

My understanding is that you are trying to choose car(s) that satisfies specific condition.

One way could be to use Logical indexing with structures. Refer below code.

% lets assume i have 3 cars 
Car(1).name = 'BMW 3 Series'; 
Car(1).type = 'Sedan'; 
Car(1).mpg = 30; 
Car(1).price = 40,000; 
Car(1).seats= 5; 

Car(2).name = 'XYZ'; 
Car(2).type = 'mini'; 
Car(2).mpg = 25; 
Car(2).price = 15,000; 
Car(2).seats= 3; 
 
Car(3).name = 'ABC'; 
Car(3).type = 'XUV'; 
Car(3).mpg = 50; 
Car(3).price = 70,000; 
Car(3).seats= 7; 
 
% specify your condition 
x= [Car.mpg] < 35 & [Car.seats] == 5 & [Car.price] <= 40,000; 
carsList = Car(x);
