MATLAB: MATLAB OOP question.

MATLABoopself reference

OK possibly a silly question, be please read and help me out regardless. 🙂
Does an object have a sense of self?
What I mean is, let's say I want to have some method which you call that increases a protected property by 1.
So you call the method: MyObj.AddOneToThatThingyMaBob().
Inside the method, what do I use as a subsitute for "this" like you would use in C#? AKA in C# it might be something similar to: this.MyValue = this.MyValue + 1;
How do you do that in MATLAB?

Best Answer

In MATLAB, a method would typically have a signature:
 classdef test1234 < handle
    properties (Access = public)
     prop
    end
    methods 
    function obj = test1234()
        obj.prop =0;
    end
    function AddOneToThatThing(obj)
         obj.prop = obj.prop+1;
    end
    end
end
Then
      a = test1234;
      a.AddOneToThatThing();
      a
Gives you what you need. The key here is Handle classes
