Call plotFhandle with a handle to the sin function and the value shown
below:
plotFHandle(@sin, -pi:0.01:pi)
Functions That Operate on Function Handles
MATLAB provides the following functions for working with function handles.
See the reference pages for these functions for more information.

Description
Return information describing a function handle.
Construct a function name string from a function
handle.
Construct a function handle from a function name
string.
Save a function handle from the current workspace to
aMAT-file.
Load a function handle from a MAT-file into the current
workspace.
Determine if a variable contains a function handle.
Determine if two function handles are handles to the
same function.
Comparing Function Handles
This section describes how MATLAB determines whether or not separate
function handles are equal to each other:
• “Handles Constructed from a Named Function” on page 4-27
• “Handles to Anonymous Functions” on page 4-27
• “Handles to Nested Functions” on page 4-28
