Named parameters: Difference between revisions

=={{header|MATLAB}} / {{header|Octave}}==

Named parameters are not natively supported. However, the following code can be used to implement them.

<lang Matlab> function foo(varargin)

for k= 1:2:length(varargin);

switch (varargin{k})

case {'param1'}

param1 = varargin{k+1};

case {'param2'}

param2 = varargin{k+1};

end;

end;

printf('param1: %s\n',param1);

printf('param2: %s\n',param2);

end;

foo('param1','a1','param2','b2');

foo('param2','b2','param1','a1'); </lang>

Output:

<pre>>> foo('param1','a1','param2','b2');

param1: a1

param2: b2

>> foo('param2','b2','param1','a1');

param1: a1

param2: b2</pre>
