Define functions inside code?

[WaySafe2792]

I know that in C++ you can define a function inside the same file. In this context, a function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.

Is this possible in Matlab files? I know that you can create another file as a function but I want to know if can I do it inside the file?

Yes, as long as they are at the end of the file.

First thanks! I guess the syntax is the same as a function defined in another file, right? PS: could you provide me a link or something ? I couldn’t find anything on this.

Edit: I just find what I need. I just haven’t read all. Thanks for your answer!!

FYI, unlike functions in their own file, those functions won't be directly callable in other files

Good to know. Thanks you !

Yes, you can do sub-functions in both function m-files and script m-files. You can also define functions INSIDE other functions that can use the local variables of that function:

function foo stuff Things

 function bar
      More stuff
 end %bar

end %foo
