Re: more help needed with function handles

[John W. Eaton]

Thanks for the responses.

It seems a little strange to me that after changing to subdir where 
there is a sin.m file, Matlab is warning that the presence of that file 
could cause trouble and which ('sin') finds the sin.m file but sin(pi) 
calls the built-in function!

Now I'm curious to know whether the behavior is different if you enter 
the commands one at a time at the command line instead of executing the 
script file?  Also, what happens if you add a 'clear functions' command 
just after changing to the subdir directory?

Maybe I need to try with a different function instead of sin, which I 
suppose is not defined as a generic function but as a method for @double 
and @single objects?  That would explain why it is found ahead of the .m 
file.
