Question

You are supposed to create a function using MATLAB that does whatis described below. I know that there are no MATLAB books in thissite already, I just thought someone might be able to help.
Thanks!

Function Name: cellFromStruct
Inputs:
1: (struct) - a single structure
Outputs:
1: (cell) - a cell array in the format requiredfor struct();

Function Description:
This function takes an input of a structure
and outputs a cell array representing that structure. Thecell
array should have the form:

ca = {'fieldname1',value1,'fieldname2',value2,...}

This is very similar to the syntax of the struct()function.

HINT: Remember the fieldnames() function.

Test Case 1:
s1 = struct('make','Ford','Model','Explorer');
ca1 = cellFromStruct(s1);
ca1 -> {'make','Ford','Model','Explorer'}

Test Case 2:
s2.firstname = 'George';
s2.lastname = 'Burdell';
ca2 = cellFromStruct(s2);
ca2 -> {'firstname','George','lastname','Burdell'}

Test Case 3:
s3 = struct([]); % Empty structure
ca3 = cellFromStruct(s3);
ca3 -> {}

Explanation / Answer

function cell= cellFromStruct(p)

%checks to see if p is an empty structure

ifisempty(p)

cell=struct2cell(p);

% seperates the field names of p and creates a new cell arrray

else

z=fieldnames(p);

a=z{1};

b=z{2};

c=getfield(p, a);

d=getfield(p, b);

cell={a c b d};

end

The only thing I know is wrong with my codeis, it only works with 2 fields and one value in each of thosefields.
