if condition in the case where char is empty

Hi! I generated an empty char:

name = '';

I should create an if-end of the following type:

if % name is empty
    name = 'no name';
end

How to write in Matlab 'if name is empty'?

You can use the isempty() function in Matlab to accomplish your task:

name = ''; % empty char variable
if isempty(name)
    name = 'no name';
end

This will get you the desired result.
