Object-Oriented Programming in MATLAB^®

The object-oriented programming capabilities of the MATLAB® language enable you to develop complex technical computing applications faster than with other languages, such as C++, C#, and Java™.

Using capabilities introduced in R2008a, you can define classes and apply standard object-oriented design patterns in MATLAB that let you benefit from code reuse, inheritance, encapsulation, and reference behavior without engaging in the low-level housekeeping tasks required by other languages.

Key Features

• Class definition files, enabling definition of properties, methods, and events
• Handle classes with reference behavior, aiding the creation of data structures such as linked lists
• Events and listeners, allowing the monitoring of object property changes and actions
• JIT-Accelerator support, providing significantly improved object performance
• Development environment support for the creation and use of classes
