How to handle function / name argument pairs in MATLAB

What if you need to create a function with tones of additional parameters. Is there a way to call these functions after naming the passed arguments for readability:

foo(123, and=456) 

Answer 1

A comparable way to do this in Matlab is to have name / value pairs:

 foo(123,'and',456,'something',[1 2 3])
