what is the difference between A=[]; and A={}; ?

Answer 1

[dbmn]

One initializes the variable as a double (or array of doubles) and the other as a cell (or a cell array)

>> A=[];
>> class(A)
ans =
double

and

>> B={};
>> class(B)
ans =
cell

[Kanwal Kaur]

means A=[] can store only double values??

[dbmn]

no. You can still do things like:

>> A=[];
>> A{2}='asdf';
>> class(A)
ans =
cell

without encountering an error
