Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, matlabtoolboxdir, is designed to return the default directory path for MATLAB add-on toolboxes. It is a simple utility function that constructs a path string based on the MATLAB root directory and appends the standard subdirectory path for add-ons.
Input Parameters
The function does not take any input parameters. It operates solely based on the environment in which MATLAB is running.
Output
The function returns a single output:
mldir: A string representing the default directory path for MATLAB add-on toolboxes.
Algorithm Steps
- Retrieve the root directory of the current MATLAB installation using the
matlabdir function.
- Concatenate the retrieved root directory with the standard subdirectory path for add-ons, which is
'Add-Ons/Toolboxes/'.
- Return the constructed path as the output
mldir.
Example Usage
To use this function, simply call it without any arguments:
mldir = matlabtoolboxdir;
This will return the path to the default MATLAB add-on toolbox directory, which can then be used in other file operations, such as listing the contents of the directory:
dir(mldir);
