Types of Functions

The basic function types that you can work with in MATLAB are


Overview of MATLAB Function Types	An introduction to the basic types of functions available with MATLAB
Anonymous Functions	Functions defined from a MATLAB expression and without requiring an M-file
Primary M-File Functions	The first, and often the main, function in an M-file
Nested Functions	Functions defined within the body of another function
Subfunctions	Any functions that follow the primary function in an M-file
Private Functions	Functions with restricted access, callable only from an M-file function in the parent directory
Overloaded Functions	Functions with multiple implementations that respond to different types of inputs accordingly
