How to make a cell array where each entry represents a random?

A random walk is represented by a vector beginning with 0 and where each subsequent entry in the vector is attained from the previous entry by adding a random cohice of either 1 or -1. For example a vector representing a random walk could look like [0, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Make a cell array named “RWL” of 100 entries where each entry represents a random walk up to absolute value 5.

This sounds like a homework question. What have you tried so far? If you're stuck, post your code and the problem you're having.
Sorry, I have posted my code already. Thanks for helping.

Hint:
RWL = cell(100, 1);
for k = 1 : 100
thisWalk = .......
RWL{k} = ...
end
Also check into the randi() and cumsum() functions.

OK, sounds like from your comment you've already submitted it. You're welcome.
For what it's worth, attached are some of my random walk demos.
