MATLAB Function Signature

MATLAB supports multiple signatures for function calls.

The generic MATLAB function has the following structure:

function [Out1,Out2,...,varargout]=foo(In1,In2,...,varargin)

To the left of the equal sign, the function specifies a set of explicit and optional return arguments.

To the right of the equal sign, the function lists explicit input arguments followed by one or more optional arguments.

All arguments represent a specific MATLAB type.

When the compiler or builder product processes your MATLAB code, it creates several overloaded methods that implement the MATLAB functions. Each of these overloaded methods corresponds to a call to the generic MATLAB function with a specific number of input arguments.

In addition to these methods, the builder creates another method that defines the return values of the MATLAB function as an input argument. This method simulates the feval external API interface in MATLAB.

 Creating a Deployable MATLAB Function

>> 1 + 1

function result = addSomeNumbers()
	result = 1+1;
end

 Taking Inputs into a Function

function result = addSomeNumbers(number1, number2)
	result = number1 + number2;
end
