% N = cell2num(C)
% If the cells contain column vectors, they must have the same number of rows in each row of C.
% Each column will be concatenated.

% Example 1:
% C = num2cell(rand(2,2))
%    [0.4565]    [0.8214]
%    [0.0185]    [0.4447]
% N = cell2num(C)
%     0.4565    0.8214
%     0.0185    0.4447
%
% Example 2:
% C = cell(2, 3);
% for i=1:2
%   for j=1:3
%     C{i,j} = rand(i, 1);
%   end
