nargchk (MATLAB Function Reference)

Check number of input arguments

Syntax

msg = nargchk(low,high,number)

Description

The nargchk function often is used inside an M-file to check that the correct number of arguments have been passed.

msg = nargchk(low,high,number)

returns an error message if number is less than low or greater than high. If number is between low and high (inclusive), nargchk returns an empty matrix.

Arguments




low, high

The minimum and maximum number of input arguments that should be passed.


number

The number of arguments actually passed, as determined by the nargin function.

`low`, `high`	The minimum and maximum number of input arguments that should be passed.
`number`	The number of arguments actually passed, as determined by the `nargin` function.

Examples

Given the function foo:

function f = foo(x,y,z)
error(nargchk(2,3,nargin))

Then typing foo(1) produces:

Not enough input arguments.
