How can I use many input arguments(up to 20) to my function?

I write my function which needs a lot of input arguments. For example, function my_function=test(input1,input2,input3,....input20)

This function can call only first 9 input arguments so I can't use input argument#10-20. So, please tell me how can I use these input in my function. Thank you very much

Variable-length input argument lists might solve your problem:

hi,

you can use a single input which is multidimensional , here is an example :

i want to compute the powers consumed by 9 different devices in the house based on the current, voltage and the alpha angle :

 function Y=Myfunction(M)

 Y(1)=M(1,1)*M(1,2)*cos(M(1,3));
 Y(2)=M(2,1)*M(2,2)*cos(M(2,3));
 ......
 Y(9)=M(9,1)*M(9,2)*cos(M(9,3));

so the single input is ( as axample ):

 M =

    0.1622    0.7482    0.0782
    0.7943    0.4505    0.4427
    0.3112    0.0838    0.1067
    0.5285    0.2290    0.9619
    0.1656    0.9133    0.0046
    0.6020    0.1524    0.7749
    0.2630    0.8258    0.8173
    0.6541    0.5383    0.8687
    0.6892    0.9961    0.0844
