%This anonymous function calculates the area of a rectangle

area_rect=@(height,base) height.*base

area_rect = function_handle with value:

@(height,base)height.*base

%The dot operator makes it flexible to be able to work with a vector or scalars

anonymous function without inputs

%This anonymous only prints a random number

prtran = @() fprintf('%.2f\n' ,rand)

prtran = function_handle with value:

@()fprintf('%.2f\n',rand)

%using the save command

save anonymous area_rect prtran %at the command window
