output = absMethodTwo(obj)

end

end

Use the logical value of the meta.class Abstract property to determine if the class is

abstract:

mc = ?AbsClass;

if ~mc.Abstract

% not an abstract class

end

Display Abstract Member Names

Use the meta.abstractDetails function to display the names of abstract properties or

methods and the names of the defining classes:

meta.abstractDetails('AbsClass');

Abstract methods for class AbsClass:

absMethodTwo % defined in AbsClass

absMethodOne % defined in AbsClass

Find Inherited Abstract Properties and Methods

The meta.abstractDetails function returns the names and defining class of any

inherited abstract properties or methods that you have not implemented in your subclass.

Use this function if you want the subclass to be concrete and must determine what

abstract members the subclass inherits.

For example, suppose that you create a subclass of the AbsClass class that is defined in

the previous section. In this case, the subclass implements only one of the abstract

methods defined by AbsClass.

classdef SubAbsClass < AbsClass

% Does not implement absMethodOne

% defined as abstract in AbsClass

methods

function out = absMethodTwo(obj)

...

end

end

end
