MATLAB: How to evaluate a user input function at a given point

evaluate functionfunctionsymsuser input

I'm unsure how to evaluate a given function at a given point X. Hypothetically, the user can input any function using any letter as a desired variable. How can I evaluate the function at the initial point given. I was thinking I could use the syms command. However, I'm unsure of what letter variable they would use. For instance, if the function was x+1 vs y+1, how can I ensure that the "initialX" is evaluated in place of x or y in the given function?
function y = randFunc(initialX, func)
    y = func(initialX);
    display(y);

If func is a Function Handle, then the code you've shown should do exactly what you want.
