MATLAB: How to let Matlab know which functions to call

disableenablefunctionifMATLABtime

So what I want to do is basically something like this:
Stokes = 'enabled'
Wind = 'enabled'
Flow = 'disabled'
I want matlab just to know "ok, I should compute Stokes and Wind via their functions, but not the flow". I could do this with a wild variation of if statements, but this would be probably ugly. Is there any way to get it working the way I want ? The problem is that I have to call the functions quite often (probably over 10k times), so I do not want matlab to check in every step if a particular function should get called or not.

Hello,
One approach that you could consider is doing an initial setup step where you stored the names of the functions that you wanted into a cell array. Then, loop through the cell array and call "feval".
For example consider the following:
A = {'funcA', 'enabled'};
B = {'funcB', 'enabled'};
C = {'funcC', 'disabled'};
allFunctions = [A; B; C];
% Setup:
funcToRun = allFunctions(strcmp(allFunctions(:,2),'enabled'));
% Run all the enabled functions
for i=1:size(funcToRun,1)
    feval(funcToRun{i,1});
end
function funcA
disp('A');
end
function funcB
disp('B');
end
function funcC
disp('C');
end
