Doesn't addpath support adding multiple folder paths at the same time?

For example, I have 2 paths of the same level of brothers, how can I add them to the matlab search path by command addpath?

path1 = "parentFolder1/";
path2 = "parentFolder2/";
addpath([path1,path2])

Error using catdirs (line 25)
All arguments must be character vectors.

Error in addpath (line 64)
p = catdirs(mfilename, varargin{1:n});

Error in addpath (line 49)
warnings = evalc('native_addpath(varargin{:})');

Is the solution to use addpath 2 times, when there are more sibling folders, it seems inelegant to call addpath multiple times?

addpath(path1);
addpath(path2);
addpath(...)
    ...

According to the addpath documentation (mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/addpath.html), you can add multiple paths at the same time by passing them as comma separated inputs.

addpath(folderName1,...,folderNameN)

If you want to add a dynamically sized list of paths with one call you could add the paths to a cell of strings

paths = {'path1','path2', .. ,'pathN'}

And then call addpath with all entries of paths

addpath(paths{:})
