Cell Arrays

Ways to compare values in cell array / relation to search terms or each other

• strcmp does it well for strings, but doesn’t work right for numbers
• == works for numbers and strings, as long as the strings (aka vectors of characters) are the same length
  • Use all to reduce vectors of character-by-character comparisons to a single Boolean result
  • Could write a comparison function that checked the lengths of the things it was comparing, considered those things unequal if the lengths differed, and used all and == to compare them if the lengths were the same
