Re: Function-pointer - function as argument for functions

[Etienne Grossmann]

  Hello,

  you can do it with :

function retval = fun10( funname )
  
  retval = feval( funname , 10 ) ;
  ## or,
  ## retval = eval(sprintf("%s(10);",funname)) ;
  ## or
  ## eval(["retval = ",funname,"(10);"]) ;

end

  Hth,

  Etienne

Hello,

is it possible for example to call a function which depending on the
argument calculates sin(x) or x**2.

What I want to have would look like:


  function retval = fun10 ( funname() )
  
    retval = funname(10);
      
  endfunction

and I'd like to call it like this:

  fun( sin() )
  => -0.544

or

  fun( sqrt() )
  => 3,16
