MATLAB: Passing multiple variables to function in 1 input

functionsinputmultiple variables

Is there any way to pass multiple variables in a single structure/cell/vector/whatever to a function, so that I can avoid writing out all variables and call variables within function shortly by their names (rather than eg. structureName.variableName)?
In other words, instead of this:
 a=1;
 b=2;
 c=3;
 ...
 z=24;
 myFun(a, b, c, ..., z)
(and inside my function:)
 function myFun(a, b, c, ..., z)
 newVal = c % calling variable shortly by its name

I would like to have something like:
 alphabet = struct('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3, ..., 'z', 24);
 myFun(alphabet)
(and inside my function:)
 function myFun(alphabet)
 newVal = c % calling variable shortly by its name
