How to define and call a function in the same script

Hello, I have a code that is working. It consists of a main script that calls 2 functions from 2 other m files. I will simulate my code in another program (Labview) and I need to put all the code in one script. Is it possible to define the function and call them in the same file. Thanks, Zied

Does it have to be a script? Can you simply wrap your script in a dummy function name? Then you could simply attach your other functions to the end of this file and have everything in one file. E.g.,

function scriptfun  % <-- dummy name
% put your original script here
end
% then append your functions here

It is possible as of R2016b, but not in any previous version. For any previous version you either need to use separate files or you need to convert the script into a function the way James shows.

So, do you mean I need just to write my function just after the main code in the same file. Do you think it will work if the second function is nested in the first function?

Thanks

If you are using R2016b or later, then nested functions will work. For example file testscript.m

disp('this is a test script')
result = test_outer_function()
function r = test_outer_function
    r = test_inner_function;
    function s = test_inner_function
        s = 11;
    end
end
