how to define an anonymous function in spmd block?

I want to define sinx function in spmd block. how can I do it...it is giving an error you cant define an anonymous function in an spmd block

Did you try writing a function instead of an anonymous function?

For example, the anonymous function:

@(x) x/2

could be turned into a regular function:

function result = divideByTwo(x)
result = x/2;

Then you could use the function by name when calling spmd.

Hi,

As per this documentation link , the body of an spmd statement cannot define an anonymous function. However, it can reference an anonymous function by means of a function handle.

For example consider the following code where the anonymous function is declared outside spmd block and is referred to successfully inside the spmd block with its handle 'f'.

f = @(x) sin(x);

spmd

      sum = 0;

      for i = 1:10
          sum = sum+ f(i);
      end
  end
