    • Matlab can create functions that capture values from their environment—this may be helpful
      

      function [ f ] = makeAdder( x )
      %MAKEADDER Create function that adds x to things
          f = @(y) x + y;
      end

      
      

      >> a1 = makeAdder( 5 )
      a1 = 
          @(y)x+y
      >> a1( 2 )
      ans =
          7
      >> a1(10)
      ans =
          15
      >> a2 = makeAdder( 10 )
      a2 = 
          @(y)x+y
      >> a2( 1 )
      ans =
          11
      >> a2(17)
