*Short description.*

Write a function _dealfun_:
  
  [y1,y2,...,yn]=dealfun(fhandle,x1,x2,...,xn)

which evaluates the function handle _fhandle_ on arguments _x1,x2,...,xn_  independently and deal solutions to outputs _y1,y2,...,yn_ (so nargin==nargout+1)

*Long description.*

Several repetitions of exacly same operation on different variables can be a pain in the neck when you are editing your code.

a=a^2+mod(a,3);       a=a^3+4*a+mod(a,3);
  b=b^2+mod(a,3);  -->  b=b^3+4*a+mod(a,3);
  c=c^2+mod(a,3);       c=c^3+4*a+mod(a,3);
  d=d^2+mod(a,3);       d=d^3+4*a+mod(a,3);

Of course there are as many strategies as programmers. There are also many helpful functions like _cellfun arrayfun deal feval_. But sometimes usage of those functions in one line looks unclear and it doesn't make editing faster. Usage of _dealfun_ could look like that:

funh=@(A)A^2+mod(A,3);   -->   funh=@(A)A^3+4*A+mod(A,3);
  [a,b,c,d]=dealfun(@funh,a,b,c,d);

example:

>> [a,b,c,d]=dealfun(@sum,ones(1),ones(2),ones(3),ones(4))
a =  1
b =  2     2
c =  3     3     3
d =  4     4     4     4

easy change:

>> [a,b,c,d]=dealfun(@numel,ones(1),ones(2),ones(3),ones(4))
a =  1
b =  4
c =  9
d =  16

I think you try to get the "i" and "j" that the function nonzeros does not give:

Thanks José, I've fixed bugs.

"0" and not "false"... nice shot!

So false is considered a function call but not a constant? What an absurd cody trick …
