: inline (str)
: inline (str, arg1, …)
: inline (str, n)

Create an inline function from the character string str.

If called with a single argument, the arguments of the generated function are extracted from the function itself. The generated function arguments will then be in alphabetical order. It should be noted that i and j are ignored as arguments due to the ambiguity between their use as a variable or their use as an built-in constant. All arguments followed by a parenthesis are considered to be functions. If no arguments are found, a function taking a single argument named x will be created.

If the second and subsequent arguments are character strings, they are the names of the arguments of the function.

If the second argument is an integer n, the arguments are "x", "P1", …, "PN".

Programming Note: The use of inline is discouraged and it may be removed from a future version of Octave. The preferred way to create functions from strings is through the use of anonymous functions (see ‘Anonymous Functions’) or str2func.
