Nested Functions
Example — More Than One Nested Function
This example shows function A and two additional functions nested inside A
at the same level:
function x = A(p1, p2)
...
function y = B(p3)
...
end
function z = C(p4)
...
end
...
end
Example — Multiply Nested Functions
This example shows multiply nested functions, C nested inside B, andB in A:
function x = A(p1, p2)
...
function y = B(p3)
...
function z = C(p4)
...
end
...
end
...
end
Calling Nested Functions
You can call a nested function
• From the level immediately above it. (In the following code, function A can
call B or D, but not C or E.)
• From a function nested at the same level within the same parent function.
(Function B can call D, and D can call B.)
