trying to use a feval by calling a function

Im trying to evaluate an objective function (f), its gradient (gf), and Hessian (H) by using feval. however, I keep getting an error saying that "x" is undefined. below is the function i have created to be passed to feval.

function [f,gf,H] = func(x); f = x(1)-x(2)+2.*x(1).*x(2)+2.*x(1).^2+x(2).^2; gf = [1+2.*x(2)+4.*x(1);-1+2.*x(1)+2.*x(2)]; H = [4 2;2 2]; end

Then, the function I have that calls this and has the feval is as follows

function myopt(func,x); % % evaluate function 'func' and its gradient and hessian [f,gf,H] = feval(func,x); end

From the command line I call myopt(func,[1 2]) and receive the error. Can someone help me? I'm sure it's a simple fix...

Try:

myopt('func',[1 2])

By the way, it is generally preferrable to use function handles instead of strings and FEVAL. For example, you could change MYOPT to this:

function myopt(func,x); 
% % evaluate function 'func' and its gradient and hessian  
[f,gf,H] = func(x)
end

Then call it like this:

myopt(@func,[1 2])
