question about structures in Matlab

Can you have a structure within a structure in Matlab?

Answer 1

[Sven]

Yes, that's possible:

s = struct('field1', 45, 'field2', 'Nothing')

s.field3 = struct('subfield1', 232)

And you can access:

s.field3.subfield1

[Walter Roberson]

Or more compactly,

s = struct('field1', 45, 'field2', 'Nothing', 'field3', struct('subfield1', 232))

[Walter Roberson]

Nested structures are fairly common.

[Sven]

Yes, as Walter points out, you can put a structure within a structure even in one line, whereas my answer tries to separate things for clarity over compactness.

Was this your question ssklios?

[ssklios Sklios]

yes it was. I am trying to do a MEX file for C code that uses structures within structures so I wanted to make sure this could be accomplished in matlab.
