MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

• getCurrentValue — This method is the Stocks class implementation of the abstract
  method defined by the Assets class. It returns the current value of this asset.


• get.SharePrice — The property get method for the dependent SharePrice
  property returns the current share price of this stock. For information on how to
  access web services from MATLAB, see the webread function.

Stocks Class Code

classdef Stocks < financial.Assets

properties

NumShares double = 0

Symbol string

end

properties (SetAccess = private)

Type = "Stocks"

end

properties (Dependent)

SharePrice double

end

methods

function sk = Stocks(description,numshares,symbol)

if nargin == 0

description = '';

numshares = 0;

symbol = '';

end

sk.Description = description;

sk.NumShares = numshares;

sk.Symbol = symbol;

end

function value = getCurrentValue(sk)

value = sk.NumShares*sk.SharePrice;

end

function pps = get.SharePrice(sk)

% Implement web access to obtain

% Current price per share

% Returning dummy value

pps = 1;

end

end

end
