Divide a cell arrays with a part of another cell array?

Hello everyone,

I have a 1x1 and 1x5 cell array with names A and B respectively. Here is my code:

for i = 1:5
    C{i,1} = B{1,i}(1,:) ./ A;
end

An error occurs in this loop :

Undefined operator './' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Division is not defined for container classes (like cell arrays), it is only defined for numeric types. Which means that you will need to get whatever numeric data you have stored in A out of A, before doing any numeric operations on it:

B{1,i}(1,:) ./ A{1}
%               ^^^
