Can I call functions inside a parfor loop?

Hi all, I am wondering can I call functions inside a parfor loop? For instance, below is a simple example
parfor i=1:10
A(i) = myfunction(i);
end
In fact, `myfunction` in my code is really complicated, it's a self-defined function to find the optimal solutions. So I am wondering, if I put this in the parfor loop, will it affect? Will each loop influence each other in calling a same function? Some may argue that I shouldn't use parfor loop here, but my program runs really slow so that I need to use parallelized code. Thanks in advance.

I don't see how running in parfor loop would cause a problem. I recommend you just try it and compare the two outputs?

If the results of the computations in the loop are independent of each other, you can use parfor.
