Algorithm (Workflow)

The function whoisIP is designed to open a web browser and navigate to a specific URL that provides information about a given IP address. This function is part of the SolidGeometry library and is categorized under auxiliary procedures.

Input Parameters

Function Workflow

  1. The function whoisIP is called with a variable number of arguments (varargin).
  2. The function getfuncparams is used to retrieve the first argument from varargin. If no argument is provided, it defaults to the IP address '212.227.15.188'.
  3. The IP address is formatted into a URL string using sprintf. The URL is constructed to point to the IP2Location demo page, which provides information about the IP address.
  4. The web function is called with the constructed URL, which opens the default web browser and navigates to the IP2Location page for the specified IP address.

Example Usage

To use the function, you can call it with a specific IP address:

whoisIP('192.187.200.116')

Alternatively, you can retrieve the IP address using another function and pass it to whoisIP:

[i,e]=userip; whoisIP(e)
