I have been suggested to use anonymous function for functions from the user and it works, but now I need to do derivation of the entered function I try diff and it's not working
str = input('Please enter the function: ', 's');
f = str2func(['@(x) ',str]);
dydx=diff(f);
r1=dydx(2);
disp(r1);

"I need to do derivation of the entered function"
Do you need a symbolic result or a numeric result?
