no, this is not true - you obviously didn't look at it...
you seem to waste CSSMers time carelessly - not boding well for your future in this NG...

Andrew, C is a cell array because different columns/rows of the input might
have different numbers of modes. You're just looking at a display of the
cell array. Here's how to look inside:

>> [a,b,c] = mode([1 2 2 2 3;1 1 2 3 3],2)
a =
2
1
b =
3
2
c =
[ 2]
[2x1 double]
>> c{2}
ans =
1
3

Row 1 has mode 2, and it appears 3 times. Row 2 has the value 1 provided as
its mode in the first output, and it appears 2 times, but the final output
shows that 1 and 3 both qualify as modes.

Apologies us, I'm not an experienced MATLAB user and all I wanted was a bit of help. Sorry if you think I was being ungrateful.

Tom, thanks for that. I'm still not 100% sure of what I'm doing but I'll keep trying. Thanks again.
