Function Summary

Functional operators are functions that call other functions as input arguments. The MATLAB software calls them function functions.

An example of a function function is fplot, which plots functions. You call fplot as follows:

fplot(@fun,[-pi pi])

The input argument @fun is a function handle to the function you want to plot. The input function is called by fplot, as necessary, to produce the plot. For more on fplot, see Example: Function Plotting Function.

Function functions are located in the MATLAB funfun directory. For a complete list, brief descriptions, and links to reference pages, type:

The following table lists the MATLAB function functions by category.
