Hi Austin,
I see that you are interested in utilizing the "A" name-value pair argument to assign a default value for the "B" name-value pair argument inside the function argument validation block. However, I regret to inform you that this feature is currently unsupported.
To work around this issue, please note that if a value is not provided for a specific name-value pair argument, it will not appear as a field in the name-value pair argument variable. With this in mind, I have created a function which is attached below for your reference and to help you understand this concept better.
function my_func(nameValueInputStruct)
% Argument validation
arguments
nameValueInputStruct.A double = 1
nameValueInputStruct.B double
end
% Call a helper function to parse the input struct
parseNameValueInputStruct(nameValueInputStruct)
end
function parseNameValueInputStruct(nameValueInputStruct)
%parseNameValueInputStruct Parse the nameValueInputStruct and modify it
% accordingly
% If value for argument "B" is not provided
if ~isfield(nameValueInputStruct, "B")
% Set the value of "B" equal to the value of "A"
nameValueInputStruct.B = nameValueInputStruct.A;
end
end
