How do properties work in Object Oriented MATLAB?

Question

I am trying to create a MATLAB class with a member variable that\'s being updated as a result of a method invocation, but when I try to change the property within the class

Answer 1

I made the class testprop and tried to excute the code which Azim suggested but it did not work. When I executed the following command:

a=a.Request(1)

The following error was generated:

??? Error using ==> Request Too many output arguments.

I think the problem is that we did not determine any output when declaring Request method. So we should change it to:

function this = Request(this, val)

and now:

>> a = testprop;
>> a = a.Request(1);        
>> a.numRequests

ans = 1
