Ordering the elements of cells uniquely

I have n cells. Each cell contains a couple of numbers. I need to uniquely order the (whole) numbers and save it in a matrix. How is that possible?

Hello Amir,

You can use the "cell2mat" function in MATLAB to convert a cell array into a matrix, followed by the "unique" function to get the unique values.

Below is the code snippet for reference:

n = 3; % Number of cells
cellArray = {1, [2, 3], [3, 4, 5]}; 

% Convert cell array to matrix
matrix = cell2mat(cellArray);

% Get unique values and sort them
uniqueValues = unique(matrix);

disp(uniqueValues);

The above code will give you a sorted array of unique numbers from the cells. To know more about "cell2mat" and "unique" functions, please refer to the following documentations:

Hope this helps.
