Complex integral using matlab

Let $f(s)$ be a function. I would like to compute the following integral using Matlab



$$
I=int_{c-iinfty}^{c+iinfty}f(s)s^{-s}ds.
$$



How can we use Matlab to evaluate this integral.
Is the following notation convenient :



syms s x
int(f,x,c-iinfty+c,c+iinfty) ?


Thanks

          You aren't allowed to use $infty$ (which is "inf" with Matlab) in such a case.



          You have to replace it by a large enough number.



          Here is the right way to do it, through an example (which is in fact classical)



          clear all;close all;format long
          a=rand;
          f=@(z)(exp(z.^2));
          I=integral(f,a-i*1000,a+i*1000)
          J=i*sqrt(pi)
          % theoretical result : I = J whatever the value of a
          % practical result : I and J coincide up to the 15th decimal place !
