Private functions serve a valuable purpose when you wish to restrict the accessibility of a function.
In numerous instances, a single function may require access to one or more auxiliary functions.
when a solitary auxiliary function is utilized by multiple functions, it becomes necessary to relocate these auxiliary functions to a dedicated subdirectory named "private", positioned within the directory where the functions that require access to these auxiliary functions are located.
To illustrate this concept, consider a function, let's call it function1, that relies on a helper function, function2, to perform a substantial portion of its tasks, as shown in below example.
In this scenario, if the path to func1 is directory/function1.m and function2 is found in the directory directory/private/function2.m, then function2 is only accessible to functions within directory, such as function1.
directory/function1.m
function y = function1(x)
y = function2(x) + 1;
end
directory/private/function2.m
function y = function2(x)
y = 41;
end
