how to use matlabfunction in matlab

The matlabfunction in MATLAB can be used to convert symbolic expressions to MATLAB functions. The following is the basic syntax of using matlabfunction:

main.m
function_handle = matlabFunction(f,params)
43 chars
2 lines

Here, f represents the symbolic expression, and params represent the independent variables. The output of matlabFunction is a MATLAB function handle, which can be used to evaluate the symbolic expression for specific values of the parameters.

For example, consider the following code:

main.m
syms x y
f = x^2 + y^2;
f_handle = matlabFunction(f,[x,y]);
result = f_handle(2,3);
disp(result);
98 chars
6 lines

Here, we are creating a symbolic expression f, which represents the sum of squares of two variables x and y. Then, this expression is converted to a MATLAB function f_handle using matlabFunction, with [x,y] as independent parameters. Finally, we are evaluating the function f_handle for x=2 and y=3, which gives the result 13.

Note that matlabFunction can also be used with additional properties such as function name, output argument, etc. You can refer to the MATLAB documentation for further details.
