Instances of Enumeration Classes

Enumeration members are instances of the enumeration class. You can assign

enumeration members to variables and form arrays of enumeration members. If an

enumeration class derives from a superclass, you can substitute an enumeration member

for an instance of the superclass.

The WeekDays class defines enumeration members for five days of the week.

classdef WeekDays

enumeration

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

end

end

Create objects of the WeekDays class representing specific days.

today = WeekDays.Monday;

tomorrow = WeekDays.Tuesday;

The variables today and tomorrow are objects of the WeekDays class.

The PPM class defines three enumeration members. Each member has an associated

numeric value derived from the class superclass.

classdef PPM < double

enumeration

High (1000)

Medium (100)

Low (10)

end

end

Assign an enumeration member to a variable.
