Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, isatleastVer, checks if the current version of MATLAB or a specified toolbox is at least a given release version.
Input Parameters
- name: A string representing the release name, e.g., 'R2017a'.
- TB: (Optional) A string representing the toolbox name. The default is 'Matlab'.
Output
- is: A boolean value, true if the current version is at least the specified version, false otherwise.
Algorithm Steps
- Set the default toolbox name to 'Matlab'.
- Check if a second argument is provided and not empty. If so, use it as the toolbox name.
- Convert the
name and TB to uppercase for consistency.
- Ensure the release name starts with 'R'. If not, prepend 'R' and issue a warning.
- Use the function
verML to get the current version of the specified toolbox.
- Compare the current version with the specified release name using string comparison.
- Return true if the current version is greater than or equal to the specified version, otherwise return false.
