# Function matrixFromFunction

Create a matrix by evaluating a generating function at each index.


## Syntax

```js
math.matrixFromFunction(size, fn)
math.matrixFromFunction(size, fn, format)
math.matrixFromFunction(size, fn, format, datatype)
math.matrixFromFunction(size, format, fn)
math.matrixFromFunction(size, format, datatype, fn)
```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------


## Examples

```js
math.matrixFromFunction([3,3], i => i[0] - i[1]) // an antisymmetric matrix
math.matrixFromFunction([100, 100], 'sparse', i => i[0] - i[1] === 1 ? 4 : 0) // a sparse subdiagonal matrix
math.matrixFromFunction([5], i => math.random()) // a random vector
```
