hi,

I'm trying to create an array of class objects that all inherit from the same superclass but they vary in their implementation of inherited functions. I know i can create an array of class objects of the same class but i can't find a way to create an array of different class objects. In other languages this is where an interface would come in - I would declare an array of the interface, and then each individual object would be instantiated as a particular subclass - I hope this makes sense. THe folowing code is incorrect but I think what i'm looking would be somewhat like it:

% declare array of interfaceX arr(3) = interfaceX %instantiate each element as different class arr(1) = classA arr(2) = classB arr(3) = classC

Anybody got any ideas? I've looked at abstract classes, but unless i'm mistaken they simply serve as a template for inheriting classes.

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

Eoin

Which MATLAB version are you using? This was not possible until a fairly recent release; 2011a I think it was, but perhaps it was 2010b.

I seem to recall that people were generally not thrilled with the way it was implemented. It was something like that the type of the array was considered to be the type of the lowest superclass that all of the current array members could inherit from, so the array type could change as you added or removed members.

I haven't used this facility at all myself; I just browsed the discussion. Or perhaps it was another bad dream...
