how to make the vectors length in the cell array equal

hi all, I've a cell array which contains vectors with different length.I want to make the vectors length with maximum length of vector.how to do that.Pls help...

If length is less, you have to add elements. It depends on what elements you want to add? zero's? NaN's? or what numbers?

thank u for ur reply. The vectors i've mentioned is a features, i.e 8 chain code of digits 0 to 9. If i add zero's, is it possible that the characteristic of the feature will be change?

example:

Let A - your cell array

A = arrayfun(@(x)randi(45,randi([3 8]),1),1:10,'un',0);

n = cellfun(@numel,A);
m = max(n);
out = cellfun(@(x,y)[x(:);zeros(max(n)-y,1)],A,num2cell(n),'un',0);

it works. thank u. but could u explain the code(last line?
