In MATLAB, if you want to set a private property in a class without using the constructor, you can create a public method within the class that allows you to set the private property. Here's how you can modify your NumberClass to achieve this:
classdef NumberClass
properties (Access = private)
Number;
end
methods
function obj = NumberClass()
% Constructor (if needed)
end
function obj = setNumber(obj, value)
% Public method to set the private property
obj.Number = value;
end
function value = getNumber(obj)
% Public method to get the private property
value = obj.Number;
end
end
end
With this modification, you can create an instance of the NumberClass and use the setNumber method to set the private property:
num = NumberClass;
num.setNumber(50);
You can also create a getNumber method to retrieve the value of the private property:
value = num.getNumber();
This way, you can encapsulate the access to the private property and provide controlled ways to set and get its value without using the constructor.
I hope this helps.
