[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30710] Support fminbnd

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30710 (project octave):

The comment boxes for the bug tracker use a simple markup language where
[asterisk text asterisk] becomes *bold*.

This can be a problem for code samples, such as the posted fminbind example,
which use two asterisks for multiplication.  

The use of plus_sign verbatim plus_sign and minus_sign verbatim minus_sign
around blocks can help.

So, with that in mind.


[x y] = fminbnd('3^x-12*x2+40*x-36', 3, 8)

produces
@3^x-12*x2+40*x-36: no function and no method found


The help for fminbnd says that it accepts a function handle or name.  This
suggests using @(x) or 'inline' to create a function handle.  Both of the
following work.


[x y] = fminbnd(inline('3^x-12*x^2+40*x-36'), 3, 8)
[x y] = fminbnd(@(x) 3^x-12*x^2+40*x-36, 3, 8)
