Enumerations Derived from Built-In Types

Enumeration classes that derived from built-in types inherit the superclass eq method.

For example, the FlowRate class derives from int32:

classdef FlowRate < int32

enumeration

Low (10)

Medium (50)

High (100)

end

end

The switchEnum function switches on the input argument, which can be a FlowRate

enumeration value.

function switchEnum(inpt)

switch inpt
