Calling some MATLAB function with suppressed outputs

Hello all!

Let's say that we want to call some user-defined MATLAB function as:

[x, ~, y] = my_function(inputs);

where second output of the function is suppressed. Is there any way for function my_function to know which outputs are suppressed?

Best, Marko.

Unfortunatley there is not (as far as I know; see for example this thread )

Depending on what you need that functionality for you might achieve a similar result using variable number of outputs and checking the number of outputs requested by the caller (see varargout and nargout) and/or using additional input arguments specifying which particular combination of outputs you would like to have...
