Lists of function handles

[andreas.sodeur]

Hi,

I am trying to create a list of function handles. This seems to be possible in Matlab, but generates errors in Octave:

>>function r = basisFunction1(x)
        r  =  1;
endfunction

>>function r = basisFunction2(x)
        r  =  x;
endfunction

>>a(1)  =  @basisFunction1
error: can't perform indexed assignment for function handle type
error: assignment failed, or no method for `<unknown type> = function handle'
error: evaluating assignment _expression_ near line 1, column 6

Any work-around? Thx
