octave: Data Containers

 
 6 Data Containers
 *****************
 
 Octave includes support for two different mechanisms to contain
 arbitrary data types in the same variable.  Structures, which are
 C-like, and are indexed with named fields, and cell arrays, where each
 element of the array can have a different data type and or shape.
 Multiple input arguments and return values of functions are organized as
 another data container, the comma separated list.
