mxIsCell (MATLAB Application Program Interface)

True if a cell mxArray

C Syntax

#include "matrix.h"
bool mxIsCell(const mxArray *array_ptr);

Arguments

array_ptr
Pointer to an array.

Returns

true if array_ptr points to an array having the class mxCELL_CLASS; otherwise, returns false.

Description

Use mxIsCell to determine if the specified array is a cell array.

Do not confuse a cell array with a cell element. Remember that a cell array contains various cell elements, and that most cell elements are not cell arrays.

Calling mxIsCell is equivalent to calling

mxGetClassID(array_ptr) == mxCELL_CLASS
