Question

I would like to define a class in one file, and its methods in several other files.

Apparently, the way to do this is to create a subfolder named @<ClassName>in the class folder, and to put all the method files in the so-called “@-folder”.

However, once I’ve made the @-folder, I’m not sure what to put in the class-definition file to make it aware of the methods in the @-folder.

classdef myClass

    properties
        myProperty = 0;
    end

    methods
        %#
        %# --- What goes here? --- 
        %#
    end
end

Answer 1

You declare the function signature without the function keyword, and with a semicolon at the end.

classdef myClass

    properties
        myProperty = 0;
    end

    methods
        retval = my_function ( arguments );
    end
end

Then MATLAB will go looking for a file called ../@MyClass/my_function.m.
