call a method of a class in matlab

To call a method of a class in MATLAB, you first need to create an object of that class. Once you have the object, you can use the dot notation to call its methods.

Here's an example:

main.m
% Define the class
classdef MyClass
    properties
        Property1
        Property2
    end
    methods
        function obj = MyClass(input1, input2)
            obj.Property1 = input1;
            obj.Property2 = input2;
        end
        
        function output = myMethod(obj, input)
            output = obj.Property1 + obj.Property2 + input;
        end
    end
end

% Create an object of the class
myObj = MyClass(10, 20);

% Call its method using dot notation
result = myObj.myMethod(5);

% Display the result
disp(result);
538 chars
27 lines

In this example, we define a simple class MyClass with two properties and one method. We then create an object myObj of this class and call its myMethod method with an input argument of 5. The output of this method is then displayed using the disp function.

Note that when defining a method in a class, the first input argument is always the object itself (obj in the example above). This allows you to access the object's properties inside the method.
