Hi, I want to create a vector of functions in julia, so that I can index in a for loop:
my code is:
```julia
qxloc1 = [qxloc(x) = 10
qxloc(x) = 10]
qyloc2 = [qyloc(x) = 10
qyloc(x) = 10]
for e = 1:2
qxloc1[e]
end
```
I get the following error:
syntax: misplaced assignment statement in "[qxloc(x) = begin
# REPL[20], line 1

```julia
qxloc1 = [ x -> 10
x- > 10 ]
```
does the trick I guess…

@Sbeltranj, it looks odd as example…
Could you explain a bit further the objective?
An alternative to the anonymous functions in previous post:
```julia
qxloc(x) = 10
qxloc1 = [qxloc; qxloc]
qxloc1[1](5)
10
```

```julia
julia> f(x) = x; g(x) = 2x; h(x) = 3x
h (generic function with 1 method)
julia> x = 1
1
julia> for ϕ in (f, g, h)
@show ϕ(x)
end
ϕ(x) = 1
ϕ(x) = 2
ϕ(x) = 3
julia> ϕ = [f, g, h]
3-element Vector{Function}:
f (generic function with 1 method)
g (generic function with 1 method)
h (generic function with 1 method)
julia> for i in 1:3
@show ϕ[i](x)
end
(ϕ[i])(x) = 1
(ϕ[i])(x) = 2
(ϕ[i])(x) = 3
```
