How do I store cell arrays of the form name{n}.surname{s} to k(1)?

Hi, I have cell arrays in the form of name{n}.surname{s}. I am want to store the all the names and surnames in a cell array such that k(1) will give the first name and surname, k(2) will give the second name and surname and so on. I am new to Matlab. Can anyone please help me out?

Does "name{n}.surname{s}" mean, that "name" is a cell array containing structs? Or should the "." be a ","?

Yes, name is a cell array containing structs.

If the name and surname are two cell strings:

fullname = strcat(name, ' ', surname);

Now fullname{k} contains the full name. You do not need a loop, because strcat acceptes cell strings as inputs directly.

N = 10 ;
name = cell(N,1) ;
surname = cell(N,1) ;
for i = 1:N
    name{i} = randseq(randsample(1:10,1)) ;  % some random char
    surname{i} = randseq(randsample(1:10,1)) ;  % some random char
end
k = cell(N,1) ;
for i = 1:N
    k{i} = [name{i},' ',surname{i}] ;
end

Can be vectorised, as you are a beginner, I gave you solution with loop.
