- %FUNCTION Function M-files.
- % New functions may be added to MATLAB's vocabulary if they
- % are expressed in terms of other existing functions. The
- % commands and functions that comprise the new function must
- % be put in a file whose name defines the name of the new
- % function, with a filename extension of '.m'. At the top of
- % the file must be a line that contains the syntax definition
- % for the new function. For example, the existence of a file
- % on disk called STAT.M with:
- %
- % function [mean,stdev] = stat(x)
- % n = length(x);
- % mean = sum(x) / n;
- % stdev = sqrt(sum((x - mean).^2)/n);
- %
- % defines a new function called STAT that calculates the
- % mean and standard deviation of a vector. The variables
- % within the body of the function are all local variables.
- % See SCRIPT for procedures that work globally on the work-
- % space.
