MATLAB: Getting a subfunction to return a value as a logical

callclassfunctionlogical?returnsub function

My sub-function is called from my main function as such…

[m,n] = funk(a,b)

I need m to return as a logical not a double. At the end of the sub-function I use logical(m), but it still returns as a double in the main function. how do I get it to return into the main function as a logical? Thanks

Ok, silly mistake, easy fix.

m = logical(m)

MATLAB: Is the recursive function not exiting when I call return

Recursive functions can be tricky. Remember, calling "return" only returns for the most recent function.

See attached image.

Calling return when inside the fourth call of the recursive function, only exits that fourth call. The other three calls of the function are still running.

In some cases, it is better to use an iterative approach such as a for loop or while loop instead of a recursive approach.

MATLAB: Does LIBFUNCTIONS not display more than 8 return arguments in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

This is a limitation of the METHODS, METHODSVIEW, LIBFUNCTIONS, and LIBFUNCTIONVIEW functions in MATLAB release version up to and including MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a). METHODS -full does not list more then 8 output arguments and displays only the first output. Note that the function can still be called correctly and all outputs are returned.

A workaround to view the full function signature is to use the following:

libpkg=findpackage('lib'); 
class=findclass(libpkg,'fifteenArgDLL'); 
methods=class.methods;

The "method" variable would then contain information about the library:

%Sample invocation:
>> get(methods(1))
                  Name: 'myfun'
           Description: 'myfun'
             Signature: [1x1 schema.signature]
                Static: 'on'
      FirstArgDispatch: 'on'
>> get(methods(1).Signature)
       InputTypes: {16x1 cell}
      OutputTypes: {17x1 cell}
        Varargout: 'off'
         Varargin: 'off'
>> methods(1).Signature.OutputTypes
ans = 
      'double'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
      'doublePtr'
