function()

Programming

function() is a MATLAB®-compatible programming function for define a named function. the function body can contain any simlab statements. single output uses "function out = name(...)". multiple outputs use "[a, b] = name(...)". functions without output use "function name(...)". functions can be nested inside other functions — the inner function closes over the outer scope: it reads and can mutate the outer function's local variables. see "nestedfunctions". Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Define a named function. The function body can contain any SimLab statements. Single output uses "function out = name(...)". Multiple outputs use "[a, b] = name(...)". Functions without output use "function name(...)". Functions can be nested inside other functions — the inner function closes over the outer scope: it reads and can mutate the outer function's local variables. See "nestedFunctions".

Syntax

function out = name(args) ... end

function [a, b] = name(x, y) ... end

function name(args) ... end

Examples — run function() in your browser

function y = square(x)
  y = x^2;
end
square(5)

▶ Run

function [s, p] = stats(x)
  s = sum(x);
  p = prod(x);
end
[s, p] = stats([1, 2, 3])

Frequently Asked Questions about function()

Is the 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 function() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

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

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

What does function() do?

Can I run function() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls 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.
