Define a function in a matlab's shell session

Question

I know that in matlab, functions are supposed to live in their own file. But what about matlab shell? Is there a way to define function in the shell?

I am asking because I am using matlab in org-mode in emacs, and all my code has to be executed my a session, as a result I cannot define functions, which very annoying to say the least.

Any help will be appreciated!

You can use Anonymous Functions in MATLAB:
