This will not work. I guess you mean:
Then this works:
if isfield(hund, 'A') && hund.A == 1
The condition hund.A==1 is evaluated only, if the first condition is true. If the field 'A' does not exist, the 2nd part is not reached. This is called "shortcircuting".
Alternative: Create a function, which replies a default value for not existing fields:
function R = SafeGetField(S, F)
if isfield(S, F)
R = S.F;
else
R = [];
end
end
Then:
if isequal(SafeGetField(hund, 'A'), 1)
Or:
function T = CompareField(S, F, V)
if isfield(S, F)
T = isequal(S.F, V);
else
T = false;
end
end
and in the main code:
if CompareField(hund, 'A', 1)
