Generate a cell of random numbers in MATLAB, how?

Question

Let say I want to generate 3 matrices of size 3x4 each with random entries rand(3, 4). How to put them in a cell 1x3?

With a loop, it is easy:

A = cell(1, 3);
for i=1:3
   A{i}=rand(3, 4);
end

Answer 1

You can store it in a 3 dimensional array:

A = rand(3,4,3);

Access the i-th layer with:

A(:,:,i)
