deff

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 in the instructions (delimiting strings or meaning matrix transposition) have to be doubled to be interpreted correctly (see help quote). This can make writing up a little awkward.

Examples

deff('[x]=myplus(y,z)','x=y+z')
deff('[x]=mymacro(y,z)',['a=3*y+1'; 'x=a*z+y'])
