ans =
SubInt
Use the strcmp function with the class function to check for a specific class of an
object:
a = int16(7);
strcmp(class(a),'int16')
ans =
1
Because the class function returns the class name as a char vector, the inheritance
does not affect the result of the comparison performed by strcmp:
aInt = SubInt;
strcmp(class(aInt),'int16')
ans =
0
Test for Most Derived Class
If you define functions that require inputs that are:
- MATLAB built-in types
- Not subclasses of MATLAB built-in types
Use the following techniques to exclude subclasses of built-in types from the input
arguments.
- Define a cell array that contains the names of built-in types accepted by your function.
- Call class and strcmp to test for specific types in a MATLAB control statement.
Test an input argument:
if strcmp(class(inputArg),'single')
% Call function
else
inputArg = single(inputArg);
end
