Hello all, I am trying to figure out how to reset class properties of the following form:
classdef myClass
properties
A (:,1) double = ones(10,1)
B (:,:) double
C (:,:) double
end
methods
function obj = partialReset(obj)
obj.B = [];
obj.A = setAsDefault;
end
end
end
Here, I am trying to reset some of my class properties, but not all. 3 cases above
(A) I want to reset A to its default value (whatever I set it as)
(B) I want to set B to its default empty value
(C) I want to leave C as is.
Now, I can see some workarounds:
function obj = partialReset(obj)
objTmp = myClass;
obj.A = objTmp.A;
obj.B = objTmp.B;
end
This returns an error, oddly enough: 'Size of value must match specified dimensions M×1 or be scalar', so while the empty property is valid on construction, it is not on assignment? Alternatively:
function objReset = partialReset(obj)
objReset = myClass;
objReset.C = obj.C;
end
I could do it this way, but this seems overly complicated if I am only resetting a few properties, and I have a lot that are being preserved. Note too that:
function obj = partialReset(obj)
obj.B = []
end
returns the error 'Size of value must match specified dimensions.
So, my question is whether there is a simple way to reset individual properties to their default values in Matlab 2018b.
