How do I change a function name within a loop using variables?
显示 更早的评论
I am trying to write a function that returns the root of a polynomial using Mullers method. I want the user to choose between the 2 polyomials shown in comment.
I am using two other functions 'poly1' and 'poly2' which returns the value of the polynomial for x.
How do i call 'poly1' or 'poly2' from within the for loop depending on the users choice? Is there any way to have a variable at the end of poly like poly'i' that changes to 1 or 2? Thanks

One of the concerns is trusting user input. You should always write your code as if your user is either incompetent or out to do malice.

You can store function handles in a cell array and use indexing:
>> C = {@(x)2*x+3,@(x)sqrt(x)+1}; % {1st fun,2nd fun}
>> C{1}(2) % 1st function evaluated with x=2
ans = 7
>> C{2}(2) % 2nd function evaluated with x=2
ans = 2.414213562373095
"Is there any way to have a variable at the end of poly like poly'i' that changes to 1 or 2?"
You could use str2func, but I doubt that it would result in simple, efficient, or reliable code.

"Will it work if the user chooses ch = 1 and I use c{ch} to get the 1st function?"
Yes. That is how indexing works.
