like for my function, when the user inputs an argument that is not a string or vector, i want them to receive an error and for it to say "Input must be a string or vector."
this is what i have so far:
function [output] = function(input1, input2, input3)
if ~isstring(input1) || nargin==3 && ~isstring(input2) || nargin==3 && ~isstring(input3)
error('Input must be a string or vector.')
elseif ~isvector(input1) || nargin==3 && ~isvector(input2) || nargin==3 && ~isvector(input3)
error('Input must be a string or vector.')
end
