Evaluating 2D function on 2D grid without using "for" loops

I have a function f(x,y) and I want to evaluate it on x,y grid. For example,
f = @(x,y) x^2+y^2;
x = 1:10;
y = 1:5;
%one way to do it is using for loops.
for x=1:10
for y=1:5
result(x,y) = f(x,y);
end
end
Is there any way do it without using "for" loops?

"Is there any way do it without using "for" loops?"
Why do you want to avoid for loops? Contrary to what some beignners think, (well-written) for loops are not slow.
Is result preallocated before the loops?

f = @(x,y) x.^2+y.^2;
x = 1:10;
y = 1:5;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
meshc(X, Y, f(X,Y))
grid on
You can try that.
Best of luck.
