Re: about the cell () function

[David Bateman]

What version of octave are you using. It seems to be prior to 2.1.51
as the cell object is based on Array2... However, even with a 2.1.50
version of octave I can't generate this error. That is 

octave:1> a = cell(2,2)
a =
{
  [1,1] = [](0x0)
  [2,1] = [](0x0)
  [1,2] = [](0x0)
  [2,2] = [](0x0)
}
octave:2> a(1,1) = 4
a =
{
  [1,1] = 4
  [2,1] = [](0x0)
  [1,2] = [](0x0)
  [2,2] = [](0x0)
}
octave:3> version
ans = 2.1.50
