otherwise (MATLAB Function Reference)

Default part of switch statement

otherwise

is part of the switch statement syntax, which allows for conditional execution. The statements following otherwise are executed only if none of the preceding case expressions (case_expr) match the switch expression (sw_expr).

Examples

The general form of the switch statement is:

switch sw_expr
    case case_expr
        statement
        statement
    case {case_expr1,case_expr2,case_expr3}
        statement
        statement
    otherwise
        statement
        statement
end
