Question

Base class has a function f.
Derived class overwrites the function f.
I want to call base class’ f for an object of the derived class. How can I do this?

Here is the code sample.

    classdef base

        methods ( Access = public )
            function this = f( this )
                disp( 'at base::f' );
            end

        end
    end

    classdef derived < base

        methods ( Access = public )
            function this = f( this )
                % HERE I WANT TO CALL base::f
                this@base.f(); % this is an error

                disp( 'at derived::f' );
            end

        end
    end

d = derived();
d.f();
% here the result should be
% at base::f
% at derived::f

Instead of

this@base.f();

it’s

f@base(this)
