How do I retrieve the names of function parameters in matlab?

Question

Aside from parsing the function file, is there a way to get the names of the input and output arguments to a function in matlab?

For example, given the following fun

Answer 1

Have you considered using map containers?

You can write your functions along these lines . . .

function [outMAP] = divide(inMAP)
     outMAP = containers.Map();
     outMAP('value') = floor(inMAP('left') / inMAP('right'));
     outMAP('remain') = inMAP('left') / inMAP('right') - outMAP('value');
end

...and call them like this ...

inMAP  = containers.Map({'left', 'right'}, {4, 5});
outMAP = divide(inMAP);

...and then simply examine tha variable names using the following syntax...

>> keys(inMAP)

ans = 

    'left'    'right'
