Using the revised class definition, the previous array assignment statement executes

without error:

a(1,7) = SimpleValue(7)

a =

1x7 SimpleValue array with properties:

Value

The object assigned to array element a(1,7) uses the input argument passed to the

constructor as the value assigned to the property:

a(1,7)

ans =

SimpleValue with properties:

Value: 7

MATLAB created the objects contained in elements a(1,1:6) with no input argument.

The default value for properties empty []. For example:

a(1,1)

ans =

SimpleValue with properties:

Value: []

MATLAB calls the SimpleValue constructor once and copies the returned object to each

element of the array.

Initial Value of Object Properties

When MATLAB calls a constructor with no arguments to initialize an object array, one of

the following assignments occurs:
