MATLAB - File I/O

Given the following MATLAB code snippet, what will be the output stored in data?

fileID = fopen('numbers.txt', 'r');
data = textscan(fileID, '%d %f');
fclose(fileID);

Assuming numbers.txt contains:

10 3.14
20 2.71
30 1.62

AA 1x2 cell array with first cell [10;20;30] and second cell [3.14;2.71;1.62]

BA 3x2 numeric matrix with all numbers

CA single numeric array combining all values

DAn error because textscan cannot read mixed data

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand textscan output format
textscan returns a cell array where each cell contains a column of data matching the format specifiers.
Step 2: Analyze the format and file content
Format '%d %f' reads an integer and a float per line. The file has 3 lines, so the first cell will be [10;20;30] and the second cell [3.14;2.71;1.62].
Final Answer:
A 1x2 cell array with first cell [10;20;30] and second cell [3.14;2.71;1.62] -> Option A
Quick Check:
textscan returns cell array columns [OK]

Quick Trick: textscan returns cells, each for one format column [OK]
