Scope of variables passed to function handles?

3 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
Hi, everyone,
I want to ask about the non-input variables in function handles.
For example, following code returns h(1)=2.
b=1;
h=@(a)a+b;
clear b;
display(sprintf('h(1)=%d', h(1)));
Is this kind of usage safe and correct?

As far as i know, yes this is safe and correct. Any non-input variables pass their values to the function at the time the function handle was created. Subsequent changes to or clearing of those variables has no effect on the function.

Yes, this is correct. It is also why passing the handles structure, for example, in a GUIDE-based file to a callback is not a good idea, because a copy of the structure at the exact time the callback is set is hard-coded into the callback, irrespective of when it is called.

Thanks guys.
This is actually a very neat feature.
It makes dependency-inject and functional programming a lot simpler.
