Function Handles

Section: Variables and Arrays

Usage

Starting with version 1.11, FreeMat now supports function handles, or function pointers. A function handle is an alias for a function or script that is stored in a variable. First, the way to assign a function handle is to use the notation
    handle = @func

where func is the name to point to. The function func must exist at the time we make the call. It can be a local function (i.e., a subfunction). To use the handle, we can either pass it to feval via

   [x,y] = feval(handle,arg1,arg2).

Alternately, you can the function directly using the notation

   [x,y] = handle(arg1,arg2)
