<p>Octave&rsquo;s cell type is also available from within oct-files.  A cell array is
just an <code>Array</code> of <code>octave_value</code>s, and thus each element of the cell
array can be treated like any other <code>octave_value</code>.  A simple example is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="verbatim">#include &lt;octave/oct.h&gt;
#include &lt;octave/Cell.h&gt;

DEFUN_DLD (celldemo, args, , &quot;Cell Demo&quot;)
{
  if (args.length () != 1)
    print_usage ();

  Cell c = args(0).cell_value ();

  octave_value_list retval;
  retval.resize (c.numel ());    // faster code by pre-declaring size

  for (octave_idx_type i = 0; i &lt; c.numel (); i++)
    {
      retval(i) = c(i);          // using operator syntax
      //retval(i) = c.elem (i);  // using method syntax
    }

  return retval;
}
</pre></div>

<p>Note that cell arrays are used less often in standard oct-files and so the
<samp>Cell.h</samp> header file must be explicitly included.  The rest of the example
extracts the <code>octave_value</code>s one by one from the cell array and returns
them as individual output arguments.  For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[b1, b2, b3] = celldemo ({1, [1, 2], &quot;test&quot;})
&rArr;
b1 =  1
b2 =

   1   2

b3 = test
</pre></div>
