Insert matrix element into a Function input in Matlab

Question

I want to make a function that can take a matrix element as an input. Is this possible? I have in the main script a matrix like:

A = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]

I want to make a function that is like:

function [a] = myFunction(b, A(7))
a = b + A(7)

Is this possible? The error is that I have unbalanced parenthesis or brackets so I guess it doesn't like the A(7) on the input.

Any ideas? Thank you.

To do that you simply need to declare your function as you normally would

function [a] = myFunction(b, c)
a = b + c;

and provide A(7) as an input: result=myFunction(b,A(7));.
