title: What is the difference between the data stored in a cell and the data stored as double in MATLAB?
body: <p>I have two variables who look exactly the same to me, but one is <code>&lt;double&gt;</code> and the other is <code>&lt;cell&gt;</code>. In the code it seems that they are converted by <code>cell2mat</code>. I understand it is a question of data storage but I just don't see the difference and the definition of <code>cell</code> and <code>double</code> for this.</p>
