cell contents assignment to a non-cell array object

I am trying to store the results of a for loop in a cell array but I get the following error:

Cell contents assignment to a
non-cell array object.

Error in Untitled_2 (line 7)
C{x} = Noise_x;

Here is my code:

Image = imread('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\bin\face.jpg');
imshow(Image);
C = zeros(1:10); 
for x = 1:16
i = randn(1);
Noise_x = imnoise(Image,'gaussian',i);
C{x} = Noise_x;
end
imshow(C(1));

Thank you in advance.

C = zeros(1:10);

This defines C as a double class array with 10 dimensions.

C{x} = ...

This attempts to populate a cell class element of C array, but you receive an error because C is a double class array. You can fix this by changing your original definition of C.

C = cell(1); % This will create a 1x1 array of blank cells

Then you can just use your C{x} line that you already have to populate the desired values into cell x.

Image = imread('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\bin\face.jpg');
imshow(Image);
n = 16;
C_g = cell(n,1); 
for x = 1:n
i = randn(1);
Noise_x = imnoise(Image,'gaussian',i);
C_g{x} = Noise_x;
end

Now it's working. Thank you :)

I suspect your should have looked something like this (note the commented lines and the comments)

%IM = imread('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\bin\face.jpg');
%don't overwrite the image function
IM = imread('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\bin\face.jpg');
imshow(IM);
%C = zeros(1:10);%creates a 10-D double array
C=cell(1,16);
for x = 1:16
    i = randn(1);
    Noise_x = imnoise(IM,'gaussian',i);
    C{x} = Noise_x;
end
%imshow(C(1));%assumes C is a non-cell array
imshow(C{1});
