MATLAB: What does @(x,y)theFunction mean

guideMATLABsyntaxtimer

Folks,
Could someone please point me to documentation that explains what the "@(x,y)" means in the below code?
@(x,y)disp('Hello World!')
Similarly, what do the following mean?
StartFcn = @(~,~)myfile
StartFcn = @myfile
StartFcn = {@myfile, 5, 6}
I am trying to get a timer to execute a specific callback in a GUIDE GUI. In order to get this to work, it seems I really need to understand that syntax.
Thank you,
Kris

The @ symbol generates either a function handle or creates an anonymous function.
You can read more on this doc page.
You third syntax is slightly less obvious. For that one you can find more information here.
