I'm Matthew Simoneau, a software developer at MathWorks focusing on technical communication and social computing.... read more >>

From time to time, I get asked or see queries about how to concatenate two struct arrays to merge the fields. There's even a section in the documentation covering this topic. I thought I'd show it here to help people out. ... read more >>

When I got to work last Friday, I saw an email discussion, on behalf of a customer, trying to find a good way to add a new field to a struct array. So this post will start with that problem, and... read more >>

This post continues in the theme of other recent ones, questions frequently posed to me (and probably others). It has to do with initializing structures. There is a healthy set of posts on the MATLAB newsgroup devoted to this topic.... read more >>

This post continues in the theme from my last post, where people routinely come to me on a topic. Today I want to distinguish
between indexed assignment, where you can take advantage of scalar expansion, and assignment to several output arrays, often
arising from a comma-separated list from cell or struct arrays.... read more >>

Recently a colleague was hoping to write some code to iterate over fields in a structure. There are at least three different ways I can think of, some more straight-forward than others. Here's what I've come up with. ... read more >>

Though I have written about this topic before, I continue to get questions on working with arrays of structures. So I thought I would focus on that alone today. ... read more >>

Though I have covered this topic somewhat in the past, it seems like a good time to refresh the information. There are recent posts on the MATLAB newsgroup relating to this topic such as this one. ... read more >>

I have seen an increasing number of questions on structures and extracting information from them in a vectorized way. Though I've already covered portions of this topic in earlier posts, I'll try to bring together a coherent view here. ... read more >>

People have different ideas about what costs a lot, in terms of memory, in MATLAB. And sometimes people don't know the details. Today I am going to talk about when MATLAB makes copies of data, for both calling functions, and for... read more >>
