Functions in scripts: Matlab evolves

[Julien Bect]

Hi all,

I just learned that functions definitions are now allowed in Matlab 
scripts (>= R2016b).

But the functions definitions must be at the end of the script.

https://fr.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/create-functions-in-files.html

So, the following script works in Octave but fails in Matlab:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

x = 1;

function y = f(x)
y = 2 * x;
end

z = f(x)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and this one works in Matlab (>= R016b) but fails in Octave:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

x = 1;

z = f(x)

function y = f(x)
y = 2 * x;
end

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
