MATLAB: How to define a structure that has an element which is an array

assertmatlab coder

How do I define a structure that has an element which is an array and for which there are sub elements. I have composed a simple example below of what I want to do along with a failed attempt at the needed assert statements.
function y = payroll(personnel) 
%#codegen
% Specify the class of the input as struct.
assert(isstruct(personnel));
% Specify the class and size of the fields r and i
% in the order in which you defined them.
assert(isa(personnel.num_employees,'int32'));
assert(isa(personnel.employee,'int32'));
assert(all(size(personnel.employee) == [5 1]));
assert(isa(personnel.employee(1).salary,'int32'));
for i = personnel.num_employees
   total_payroll = total_payroll + personnel.name(i).salary;
end
y = total_payroll;
end

Best Answer

This line seems wrong:
 assert(isa(personnel.employee,'int32'));
In your code employee is supposed to be a struct with sub-field name and salary? Once you make it a struct, you then also need to set its class and size of the fields name and salary.
