Anonymous Functions:

The anonymous function is a very easy, one-line function. The benefit of an anonymous function is that it does not have to be stored in an M-file. This can deeply simplify the programs, as often computations are very easy, and the use of anonymous functions decreases the number of M-files essential for a program. The Anonymous functions can be generated in the Command Window or in any script. The format for an anonymous function is as shown below:

fnhandle = @ (arguments) functionbody

 

here fnhandle stores the function handle; it is necessarily a way of referring to the function. The handle is assigned to this name by using the @ operator. The arguments, in the parentheses, correspond to the argument(s) which are passed to the function, merely like any other type of function. The function body is the body of the function that is any valid MATLAB expression. For illustration, here is an anonymous function which computes and returns the area of a circle:

 

>> cirarea = @ (radius) pi * radius .^2;
