How can I create a cell array in matlab combining text and number matrices?

Question

The following line works

array ={'a','b'; 1,2};

but

num = [1,2];
array ={'a','b'; num};

doesn't.

I also tried

array ={'a','b'; mat2cell(num)};

and

array ={'a','b'; num2cell(num)};

but neither of them worked. How can I produce a 2x2 cell matrix containing a, b, 1 and 2?

Use concatenation:

array = [{'a','b'}; num2cell(num)]

Or extend the cell array as follows:

array = {'a','b'};
array(end+1,:) = num2cell(num);
