Arguments

e1, e2, ...

input variables.

s1, s2, ...

output variables.

text

a matrix of character strings.

Description

deff can be used to define functions from sequences of instructions written in text strings. The resulting function object has the same properties of any other function defined in a text file and loaded with exec.

Quotes included in instructions given in strings must be doubled to be protected.

Examples

deff('x = myplus(y,z)', 'x = y+z')
myplus(1,%i)

deff('[y, z] = mymacro(x)', ['y = 3*x+1'; 'z = a*x + x.^2'])
a = 3;
[u, v] = mymacro(2)

--> deff('x = myplus(y,z)', 'x = y+z')
--> myplus(1,%i)
 ans  =
   1. + i

--> deff('[y, z] = mymacro(x)', ['y = 3*x+1'; 'z = a*x + x.^2'])
--> a = 3;
--> [u, v] = mymacro(2)
 v  =
   10.

 u  =
   7.
