For my minify function I needed to construct a full list of all legal syntaxes, so I just tried them all.
function[a,b]=f1(c,d)
function e=f2
These two syntaxes are the most compact ones. Extra spaces are allowed at every point (except inside the keyword function, of course).
As far as the rest of the file if you want the function to be callable:
- Matlab will call the first function in the file. You should have the first function in the file match the file name. If you don't, no function is allowed to have the same name as the file.
- No code may exist before the first function keyword.
- Either all functions must be closed with an end keyword, or none of them.
