Anonymous Functions Examples

The document discusses anonymous functions in MATLAB. It shows examples of anonymous functions that: 1) Calculate the area of a rectangle using two inputs for height and base. 2) Prints a random number without inputs. 3) Uses the built-in factorial function within an anonymous function. 4) Passes different function handles like @sin, @cos, and @sqrt as inputs to another function. 5) Converts a string to a function handle and passes it as an input. 6) Plots the sine function over a range using an anonymous function.

%This anonymous function calculates the area of a rectangle


area_rect=@(height,base) height.*base

area_rect = function_handle with value:


@(height,base)height.*base

%The dot operator makes it flexible to be able to work with a vector or scalars

anonymous function without inputs

%This anonymous only prints a random number


prtran = @() fprintf('%.2f\n' ,rand)

prtran = function_handle with value:


@()fprintf('%.2f\n',rand)

%using the save command


save anonymous area_rect prtran %at the command window
%helps to store simple functions in one file

%dealing with function handles


 
%this example shows that built-in functions can be used in anonymous functions
handle_factorial = @factorial

handle_factorial = function_handle with value:


@factorial

%calling the previous function


handle_factorial(5)
