MATLAB: Function for day of the year

Introduced in R2014b

>> day( datetime('07-Jan-2017', 'InputFormat', 'dd-MMM-yyyy' ), 'dayofyear' )
ans =
     7

"accounting for leap years" If not, shame on The MathWorks!

>> day( datetime('01-Mar-2017', 'InputFormat', 'dd-MMM-yyyy' ), 'dayofyear' )
ans =
    60
>> day( datetime('01-Mar-2016', 'InputFormat', 'dd-MMM-yyyy' ), 'dayofyear' )
ans =
    61

MATLAB: How to request additional data from the user in a function

Something like this:

function out = year2016(m)
VN = datenum([2016,m,1]):datenum([2016,m+1,1])-1;
DN = 1+mod(VN-3,7);
MC = {'January';'February';'March';'April';'May';'June';'July';'August';'September';'October';'November';'December'};
DC = {'Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'};
out = struct('day',DC(DN),'date',num2cell(1:numel(VN)));
[out(:).month] = deal(MC{m});
end

And tested:

>> m = year2016(12); m(8)
ans =
    day = Thu
    date =  8
    month = December
>> m = year2016(1); m(1)
ans =
    day = Fri
    date =  1
    month = January
>> m = year2016(2); m(29)
ans =
    day = Mon
    date =  29
    month = February
