create a cunstructor where the class variable gets initialized in matlab

In MATLAB, the constructor method class_name is used to create an instance of a class with specific instance variables initialization.

To initialize the class variables inside the constructor:

main.m
classdef MyClass
   properties
      myVariable
   end
   methods
      % Constructor
      function obj = MyClass(value)
         if nargin == 1
            obj.myVariable = value;
         end
      end
   end
end
216 chars
14 lines

Here, obj defines the instance of the class, MyClass. nargin returns a number equal to the number of input arguments received by the function. In this example, obj.myVariable is assigned a value of value only if an input argument is provided during object creation.

You can also have multiple input arguments during object creation and use each of the arguments to initialize different class variables.
