### 6.3 Cell Arrays

It can be both necessary and convenient to store several variables of different size or type in one variable. A cell array is a container class able to do just that. In general cell arrays work just like N-dimensional arrays with the exception of the use of ‘`{`’ and ‘`}`’ as allocation and indexing operators.
