Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, showpath, is designed to return the current search path in MATLAB as an n x 1 cell array. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.5.

Input Parameters

nn: An optional input parameter that specifies the indices of the path entries to be returned. It is a cell array index.

Output Results

ppp: An n x 1 cell array containing all path entries or only the selected entries if nn is specified.

Algorithm Steps

The function begins by calling getfuncparams to retrieve the input parameter nn. If no parameter is provided, nn defaults to an empty array.
The current MATLAB search path is split into individual path entries using the split function with ':' as the delimiter. This results in a cell array ppp containing all path entries.
If nn is not empty, the function filters ppp to include only the entries specified by the indices in nn.
The function returns the resulting cell array ppp.

Example Usage

showpath: Returns an n x 1 cell array of all path entries.
showpath(1:3): Returns only the first three entries of the path.
