How assign a function which is a derivative of another function

Posted 11 years ago

I am trying to assign a function which is a derivative of a previous on:

f[x_] := x^2;
D[f[x], x]

I would like j to be the derivative of f, so it would be also a function of x (namely, 2x)

How do I do that?

Trying to use do it with the following line gives an error

j[x_] := D[f[x], x]
j[1]
