Thread Subject: Enumeration

Hello,

I am using Matlab's OOP.
Can I create Enumerations or something similar as in C#?
I am using Matlab 2009a.

Thanks,
Miguel

Miguel, if you have access to the Statistics Toolbox, you may find nominal and ordinal arrays helpful, depending on what you want to do. If you're looking for a better way to store discrete data than using coded integers, or using cell arrays of strings, they may be what you want. If you're looking for a way to create named constants, perhaps this is what you're looking for:

Searching for an answer to enumeration I bumped out with this thread. So I would like to add a question to this one. Matlab has an option to define enumeration instanciating it with Simulink:

classdef(Enumeration) PrimaryColors < Simulink.IntEnumType
    enumeration
        Red(1),
        Blue(4),
        Yellow(8)
    end
end

Does this work when you are programming in Matlab and want to use this class?

Thanks,
David
