anonymous function that follows the @ sign.

Create a function handle to a named function:

fhandle = @myfun

Create a function handle to an anonymous function:

fhandle = @(x,y) x.^2 + y.^2;

@ At symbol Call superclass methods Use the @ symbol to call superclass methods from subclasses.

• “Call Superclass Methods on Subclass Objects”

Call the disp method of MySuper from a subclass:
