How do put the values within a cell in a matrix?

dff1 = [];
dff2 = [];
dff3 = [];
dff4 = [];
num_dff = rand(5121,2);

wholedff = {dff1, dff2, dff3, dff4};
for i = 1:length(wholedff) 
    wholedff{i} = num_dff
end

This code gives me the values I'd like to see but in the 1x4 cell wholedff, not in the single dffs (dff1, dff2, dff3, dff4), which remain empty. How do I create this link? Thanks!

dff1=wholedff{1};
dff2=wholedff{2};
...

but why would you want to do that? That is why we do indexing so we do not have to have so many variables.

Thanks! Do I need to write 11 lines like that or there's a way to be more concise?

Well, I need to do operations on those matrices afterwards, so I need to have all the 11 dffs separated from each other.

[David Hill]

Instead of assigning variables to them, do the operations using wholedff{1} or wholedff{2}. For example:

wholedff{1}=[wholedff{1},5]*10;

No need for a bunch of variables.

Yeah this actually makes a lot of sense. Great, thanks man!
