Edit Question
Title
Body
Given a function like: function foo(myParam) if nargin<1 myParam = 'default value'; end % if end % function I've seen people use something like the following in the place of the nargin version if ~exist('myParam', 'var') myParam = 'default value'; end %if I'm wondering if there is any preference either way? The "~exist..." version to me has the advantage that if I change the order of my function parameters then it should still work. However my concern with this approach is that I might inadvertently pick up variables that are defined globally or in the scope of a surrounding function in the case of nested functions. Any thoughts on the issue?
