How to use default values with deal()?

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.

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

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{:})

Or simpler:

temp_param(numel(temp_param)+1:3) = {0};

This works also, if the wanted length is larger.

Note that similar to your previous question, the deal is completely unnecessary.

[p1, p2, p3] = temp_param{:};
