MATLAB: How to use default values with deal()

cell arraysdealfunctionparametersvector

I use the fallowing method in a function to assign parameter values:
parameters = [1,2,3];
temp_param = num2cell(parameters);
[p1,p2,p3] = deal(temp_param{:});
It is possible to use default values somehow (with a simple compressed syntax)?
So if parameters = [1,2] I still want to use [p1,p2,p3] = … but let p3=0 by default.

Best Answer

parameters = [1 2];
temp_param = num2cell(parameters)
temp_param(numel(temp_param)+1:3)=num2cell(zeros(1,3-numel(temp_param)))
[p1,p2,p3] = deal(temp_param{:})
