shape. The makeParabola function shown here constructs and returns a
function handle fhandle for the nested parabola function. This handle gets
passed to fplot:
function fhandle = makeParabola(a, b, c)
% MAKEPARABOLA returns a function handle with parabola
% coefficients.
fhandle = @parabola;
% @ is the function handle constructor
function y = parabola(x)
y = a*x.^2 + b*x + c;
end
end
Assign the function handle returnedfromthecalltoavariable(h) and
evaluate the function at points 0 and 25:
h = makeParabola(1.3, .2, 30)
h =
@makeParabola/parabola
h(0)
ans =
30
h(25)
ans =
847.5000
