Is it possible to call a subfunction inside a mscript function and get the returned value?
e.g., the content of 'func.m' as below
function b = func(a)
b = subfunc(a) +1;
function c = subfunc(a)
c = a*2;
Can I call subfunc directly in the matlab workspace.

For instance, a function Func is stored in file 'Func.m'. In 'Func.m', there is a function SubFunc called by the main Func function. I wanna if I can excute the SubFunc function in 'Func.m' directly.

MATLAB does not mention "subfunctions". Other functions in the same Mfile are either local functions or nested functions.
Do not call any function a "script", as a script is something quite different from a function.
"I wanna if I can excute the SubFunc function in 'Func.m' directly": lets look at the two possible cases for this:
  • If Func is the main function on that Mfile, then it can call any local function in the same Mfile.
  • If Func is a script then from version R2016b you can add local functions. With earlier versions doing so will throw an error.

No. You have to create a separate mfile that can be called by your mscript.

You can do this by a wrapper:
function Fcn = main
Fcn.func = @func;
Fcn.subfunc = @subfunc;
function b = func(a)
b = subfunc(a) +1;
function c = subfunc(a)
c = a*2;
Now you can call from the outside:
Fcn = main();
Fcn.func(1)
Fcn.subfunc(2)

You can call a sub-function from a main function in an m-file.
You cannot call a sub-function from a script (what would the function be 'sub' of?!). If you need to then just turn your script into a function.
Edit: In response to your edited question, then Yes, what you are doing is creating a function file and then within it defining subfunctions which are only accessible to the main function of that file.
This does seem like a question that you could have got the answer to yourself instantly though by simply putting that code in a file and running it!

Of course I know it is impossible to call the local function by excuting subfunc() from outside.
I'm asking if there is a way to call a local function from outside.
