Is it possible to enforce input argument data types in MATLAB?

I would like to ensure that the input arguments to a user-defined MATLAB function (contained in an m-file) are of a certain type. I understand that MATLAB automatically assi

Answer 1

Matlab provides an 'inputParser' which allows to check inputs. Besides this you can use assertions:

assert(islogical(yes_or_no),'logical input expected')

To ensure the correct number of input arguments, use narginchk.

btw: Take a look in some Matlab functions like edit integral and check how tmw deals with this.
