Insert an array into another array

I need to insert an array into another array, so that subarray would be like one single element in it, like: A=[2,4,5,[5,6],9] so if I use numel on this array, it should give me 5. How can I do this in matlab? And if I do this how can I have access to the subarray elemets?

You can't do this with double class variables, where you are limited to one value per element. But you could use a cell array for this. E.g.,

A = {2,4,5,[5,6],9};

Then use the curly braces to get at the values. E.g., A{1}, A{2}, etc.
