Understanding nested function reference in parfor loop

4 views (last 30 days)
I came accross this sentence in MATLAB doc:
The body of a parfor-loop cannot make reference to a nested function. However, it can call a nested function by means of a function handle.
Can someone please explain what this means?

Yes, Please. I am having an issue with it now. Thanks.

Look at this examples where I am creating a function handle for my nested function.
function out=parforTest(in)
out = zeros(1,4);
tmp=@(x)nestedFunc(in,x);
parfor ii=1:4
out(ii)=feval(tmp,ii)
end
function outv= nestedFunc(in,var)
outv = in+var;
end
end
