What does this MATLAB class to and why isn't it working on my PC?

Question

The very first one in this documentation: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/getting-familiar-with-classes.html

The class is:

classdef Basic         


        

Answer 1

Your error message doesn't look correct compared with the code, whichever your missing a class constructor (as is mentioned at the half way down the help link):

classdef BasicClass
  properties
    Value
  end
  methods

    % Class constructor -> which you can pass pi/3 into.
    function obj = BasicClass ( varargin )
      if nargin == 1
        obj.Value = varargin{1};
      end
    end

    % Your Methods
    function r = roundOff(obj)
      r = round([obj.Value],2);
    end
    function r = multiplyBy(obj,n)
      r = [obj.Value] * n;
    end
  end
end
