I can give guidelines on things to keep in mind while converting you code:
- In MATLAB, classes are defined in separate files with the same name as the class. The file should be named NextFit.m.
- MATLAB does not use public, protected, or private keywords in the same way Java does. MATLAB uses properties and methods blocks to control access.
- MATLAB methods are defined within a methods block. The @Override annotation doesn't exist in MATLAB.
- MATLAB uses properties block to define class properties.
It should look something like this, feel free to adjust it accordingly:
classdef NextFit < Packing
properties (Access = protected, Constant)
shouldDecreaseFlag = false;
end
methods
function obj = NextFit(items)
obj@Packing(items); % Call the superclass constructor
end
function pack(obj, item)
binSize = numel(obj.bins);
canFit = binSize > 0 && obj.bins{binSize}.remainingCapacity >= item;
binIndex = binSize - (canFit * 1);
obj.addItem(item, binIndex);
end
function result = shouldDecrease(obj)
result = obj.shouldDecreaseFlag;
end
end
end
Here I changed the name of the property ‘shouldDecrease’ to ‘shouldDecreaseFlag’ to store the Boolean value and then returned that boolean value in the function ‘shouldDecrease’ inside the methods. I did this as we cannot write the property and the function with the same name in the same class in MATLAB as it creates ambiguity
Hope this helps!
