function [filtfcn, statefcn] = makeFilter(b, a)
%   FILTFCN = MAKEFILTER(B, A) creates an IIR filtering
%   function and returns it in the form of a function handle,
%   FILTFCN. Each time you call FILTFCN with a new filter 
%   input value, it computes the corresponding new filter 
%   output value, updating its internal state vector at the
%   same time.
%
%   [FILTFCN, STATEFCN] = MAKEFILTER(B, A) also returns a 
%   function (in the form of a function handle, STATEFCN) 
%   that can return the filter's internal state.  The internal
%   state vector is in the form of a transposed direct form 
%   II delay line.

%   Initialize state vector. To keep this example a bit 
%   simpler, assume that a and b have the same length.  
%   Also assume that a(1) is 1.

v = zeros(size(a));
