How do you append to a matrix within a for loop when the matrices are unequal in size?

N=input("How many matrices you want to enter?")
D1=[];
for a=1:N
m=input(' give the no. of columns:')
n=input(' give the no. of rows:')
for i=1:n
    for j=1:m
        C(i,j)=input("Give a number:")
    end
end
D1=[D1;C]
end
% I want to get the two matrices, as input,[1 2;3 4] and [5 7 8; 6 9 10] stored in another array
%MY program above takes the input for the two matrices
% I want to store those two input matrices in some data type
% Suggest me how to do it
% the last line for D1 shows error for uneuqual sized matrices while it works for equal sized matrices

Is there any other methods at taking input for matrices?

Maybe you could use a cell array. E.g.,

   :
D1 = cell(1,N);
for a=1:N
        :
    D1{a} = C;
end

Then the first matrix is D1{1}, the second matrix is D1{2}, etc.
