Functions in Matlab
Functions are perhaps the most important tool for programming. They allow the programmer to define a specific action that (usually) takes in some data, does some processing, and returns a result, much like most math functions. Yet, no matter what the purpose of a function is, the "syntax" for defining and using a function is always the same. Here we discuss how to use and define functions in Matlab.
Function Design
Function Design Pattern
A function in Matlab is always written using the same (starting) syntax. This syntax can be captured in a "Design Pattern." Your job is to learn this pattern for future use (and tests). When learning, you can refer here for help.
Make sure you review the topic on commenting and style to go along with this design pattern.
The Basic Design Pattern
Remember, as always, design patterns show you a "template" of the syntax/rules necessary to complete a generic goal. In this case, the basic format of any Matlab function file is described.
