True if a cell mxArray

C Syntax

• #include "matrix.h"

   Pointer to an array.

Returns

true if array_ptr points to an array having the class mxCELL_CLASS, and false otherwise.

Description

Use mxIsCell to determine if the specified array is a cell array.

Calling mxIsCell is equivalent to calling
