Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in MATLAB

Use of object-oriented techniques in the MATLAB language to implement typical technical application

Description

Object-oriented programming (OO) applies to software development the standard science and engineering practice of identifying patterns and defining a classification system describing those patterns. Classification systems and design patterns allow engineers and scientists to make sense of complex systems and to reuse efforts by others. By applying classification systems and design patterns to programming, the OO approach improves your ability to manage software complexity—particularly important when developing and maintaining large applications and data structures.

This article demonstrates the use of object-oriented techniques in the MATLAB language to implement a typical technical application.
