Re: setting defacult values for input parameters in functions

[Martijn Brouwer]

With nargin() you can determine the number of input arguments of a
function. Depending on the number of input arguments you can give a, b
and c a default value.
if nargin < 3
        c=
end
if nargin < 2
        b=
end
if nargin < 1
        a=
end

The only drawback is that you assume that when one argument is given, it
will be a, and when there are two, it will be a and b.
For my use, this approach suffices.
