MATLAB Object-Oriented Programming

classdef ClassName

properties (PropertyAttribute = value)

Prop1

Prop2

end

end

For example, only methods in the same class definition can modify and query the Salary

and Password properties.

classdef EmployeeInfo

properties (Access = private)

Salary

Password

end

end

This restriction exists because the class defines these properties in a properties block

with the Access attribute set to private.

Property Attributes

For a description of property attributes you can specify, see, “Property Attributes” on

page 8-9.

Property Access Methods

MATLAB calls whenever setting or querying a property value. Define property set access

or get access methods in methods blocks that specify no attributes and have the

following syntax:

methods

function obj = set.PropertyName(obj,value)

...

end

function value = get.PropertyName(obj)

...

end

end

MATLAB does not call the property set access method when assigning the default value

specified in the property's definition block.
