Matlab arguments validation

August 21, 2023

Matlab function arguments validation syntax is generally recommended over legacy validateattributes() and inputParser(). Function arguments validation specification coerces the input and/or output variables to the class declaration given if possible, and errors otherwise.

• Default values are easily specified, which required such verbose syntax before.
• only a single class can be specified
• recall the .empty method of most Matlab classes e.g. datetime.empty() that allows initializing an empty array.

Matlab argument validation syntax coerces class at runtime.
