Possible to use anonymous function as script function input?

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if there is any method to allow anonymous function to be used as an input. For example:
I have the following script:
function output = exampleF(input)
output = 3*input
And then use sin(x) as an input:
exampleF(sin(x))
By doing it like that I would get that x is not a defined variable.
Is there any way to program 'sin(x)' as an anonymous function ? in a same manner as
f = @(x) sin(x).
Thank you for your time!

function output = exampleF(input)
output = @(x) 3*input(x);
Now from the command line:
T = exampleF(@(x) sin(x));
T(pi/2)

Kokalz, when MATLAB sees:
sin(x)
if first looks to see if sin is a local variable in order to index it with variable x. If not, then it looks to see if sin is a function and tries to pass it the argument x. Since you have not defined x, you get the error.
Now look at how MATLAB itself deals with the problem. When you call FZERO, you pass a function handle. When you call FSOLVE, LSQNONLIN, LSQCURVEFIT, ODE45, or most any other solving function in MATLAB, you pass in a function handle. So why do you want to code so differently than users of MATLAB are used to doing??

Having said that, you can use the older, less recommended method of using strings:
function output = exampleF(input)
output = inline(['3*',input]);
Now from the command line:
T = exampleF('sin(x)');
T(pi/2)

exampleF(@(x) sin(x))
However, you will find that multiplying a function handle by a constant is not allowed.
Is your desired output a numeric value or a new function handle ?

Yes if you include the apostrophes, such as
exampleF('sin(x)')
Equivalent would be using command form,
exampleF sin(x)
but that would not be able to return a value to a variable.
It is not possible to write
exampleF(sin(x))
without having the sin(x) be evaluated before being passed in to exampleF
