function whose argument is a string containing name of respective function.

I have simple question:

function m=forexample('hey')

Above, 'hey' is string containing name of the respective function. How can I evaluate respective function 'hey' in main function? They say, function feval might be useful, but i dont know how to use it...

As an alternative, function handles are reccomended for passing functions as arguments:

[James Tursa]

E.g.,

>> sind(30)
ans =
    0.5000
>> s = 'sind';
>> feval(s,30)
ans =
    0.5000

So, if you pass an argument into your forexample function, simply use that argument as the first argument to feval.
