anonymous-function()

Programming

anonymous-function() is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function for create an anonymous (lambda) function. the @ symbol followed by parameter list and expression creates a callable function object. anonymous functions capture workspace variables at creation time. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Create an anonymous (lambda) function. The @ symbol followed by parameter list and expression creates a callable function object. Anonymous functions capture workspace variables at creation time.

Syntax

f = @(args) expression
@(x) x^2
@(x, y) x + y

Examples — run anonymous-function() in your browser

f = @(x) x^2;
f(5)
▶ Run
g = @(x, y) sqrt(x^2 + y^2);
g(3, 4)
▶ Run
k = 2;
h = @(x) k*x;  % captures k=2
h(10)
▶ Run

Frequently Asked Questions about anonymous-function()

Is the anonymous-function() function free to use in SimLab?

The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open anonymous-function() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use anonymous-function()?

No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The anonymous-function() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.

What does anonymous-function() do?

Create an anonymous (lambda) function. The @ symbol followed by parameter list and expression creates a callable function object. Anonymous functions capture workspace variables at creation time. It is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: f = @(args) expression.

Can I run anonymous-function() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls anonymous-function(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
