MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

Where obj is the output of the subclass constructor, SuperClass... is the name of a

superclass, and args are any arguments required by the respective superclass

constructor.

For example, the following segment of a class definition shows that a class called Stocks

that is a subclass of a class called Assets.

classdef Stocks < Assets

methods

function s = Stocks(asset_args,...)

if nargin == 0

% Assign values to asset_args

end

% Call asset constructor

s@Assets(asset_args);

...

end

end

end

“Subclass Constructors” on page 9-26 provides more information on creating subclass

constructor methods.

Reference Superclasses Contained in Packages

If a superclass is contained in a package, include the package name. For example, the

Assests class is in the finance package:

classdef Stocks < finance.Assets

methods

function s = Stocks(asset_args,...)

if nargin == 0

...

end

% Call asset constructor

[email protected](asset_args);

...

end

end

end

Initialize Objects Using Multiple Superclasses

To derive a class from multiple superclasses, initialize the subclass object with calls to

each superclass constructor:
