Which of the following is the correct way to create a heterogeneous container in MATLAB?
AmyArray = [42, 'hello', [1, 2, 3]];
BmyStruct = [field1=42, field2='hello'];
CmyCell = {42, 'hello', [1, 2, 3]};
DmyMatrix = [42; 'hello'; [1, 2, 3]];
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify syntax for cell arrays
Cell arrays use curly braces {} to hold different data types together.
Step 2: Check other options for errors
Square brackets require uniform data types and will fail with mixed types like numbers and strings. Struct syntax is incorrect (use struct('field1',42) instead). Matrices cannot mix types like numbers and strings.
Final Answer:
myCell = {42, 'hello', [1, 2, 3]}; -> Option C
Quick Check:
Curly braces {} for mixed types = B [OK]
Quick Trick:Use curly braces {} for mixed data containers [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Using square brackets for mixed types
Incorrect struct syntax
Trying to mix strings and numbers in numeric arrays
