Learn when to use object-oriented techniques, how handle objects behave, and how MATLAB compares to other languages.
Why Use Object-Oriented Design
MATLAB enables you to use object-oriented programming techniques for application development.
All MATLAB variables are instances of a class. User-defined classes can create new types of variables.
MATLAB handle variables support reference semantics.
MATLAB defines functions that enable you to interact with objects.
Comparison of MATLAB and Other OO Languages
MATLAB and other object-oriented languages have similarities and differences.
Compatibility with Previous Versions
Prior to MATLAB version 7.6, MATLAB classes used different syntax.
