2deal
Purpose Deal inputs to outputs
Syntax [Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(X)
[Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(X1,X2,X3,...)
Description [Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(X) copies the single input to all the requested
outputs. It is the same as Y1 = X, Y2 = X, Y3 = X, ...
[Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(X1,X2,X3,...) is the same as Y1 = X1; Y2 = X2;
Y3 = X3; ...
Remarks deal is most useful when used with cell arrays and structures via comma
separated list expansion. Here are some useful constructions:
[S.field] = deal(X) sets all the fields with the name field in the structure
array S to the value X. If S doesn't exist, use [S(1:m).field] = deal(X).
[X{:}] = deal(A.field) copies the values of the field with name field to
the cell array X. If X doesn't exist, use [X{1:m}] = deal(A.field).
[Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(X{:}) copies the contents of the cell array X to the
separate variables Y1,Y2,Y3,...
[Y1,Y2,Y3,...] = deal(S.field) copies the contents of the fields with the
name field to separate variables Y1,Y2,Y3,...
Examples Use deal to copy the contents of a 4-element cell array into four separate
output variables.
C = {rand(3) ones(3,1) eye(3) zeros(3,1)};
[a,b,c,d] = deal(C{:})
