function addCells2Map(map, keysCell, valuesCell)
% ADDCELL2MAP Adds a set of keys to a map with corresponding values.
%
%   Inputs:
%       map         A containers.Map().
%       keysCell    A cell array of keys. Keys already existing in the
%                   map will be overwritten.
%       valuesCell  A cell array of values. Indices of valuesCell
%                   should correspond with the indices of keysCell.
%
%   Updates:
%       map         The map argument is automatically updated and thus
%                   not returned as an explicit output.
%
%   Notes: The user is expected to make sure the types of values in
%   keysCell and valuesCell are of appropriate type for map. It is
%   assumed that valuesCell is at least as long as keysCell and if it
%   is longer, the excess will be ignored.

    len = length(keysCell);

    assert(len == length(valuesCell), 'Expected 2nd and 3rd argument to have the same length.')

    for i = 1:len
        map(keysCell{i}) = valuesCell{i};
    end
