D(y)

function B(x,y) % Nested in A

C(x)

D(y)

function C(x) % Nested in B

D(x)

end

end

function D(x) % Nested in A

E(x)

function E(x) % Nested in D

disp(x)

end

end

end

The easiest way to extend the scope of a nested function is to create a function handle

and return it as an output argument, as shown in “Using Handles to Store Function

Parameters” on page 20-34. Only functions that can call a nested function can create a

handle to it.
