parenDotAssign

Class: matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot
Namespace: matlab.mixin.indexing

Object assignments with combined parentheses and dot indexing

Since R2022b

Syntax

updatedObj = parenDotAssign(obj,indexOp,varargin)


Description

updatedObj = parenDotAssign(obj,indexOp,varargin) handles assignment operations that begin with built-in parentheses indexing immediately followed by customized dot indexing. Examples include:

• obj(idx).prop = val

• obj(idx).(field) = val

• [obj(idx).prop] = val

• [obj(idx).(field)] = val

This method handles assignments that are combinations of parentheses and dot indexing for classes that inherit from matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot but do not inherit from matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesParen. The indexOp object contains the indexing operations and the indices of the values being changed. varargin is a cell array of values to be assigned to those indexed locations. The method returns the updated object.

Input Arguments

obj — Object that implements customized dot indexing

object

Object that implements customized dot indexing by inheriting from matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot.

indexOp — Types of indexing operations and indices referenced

array of IndexingOperation objects

Types of indexing operations and indices referenced, specified as an array of IndexingOperation objects.

varargin — Values to be assigned in indexing operation

cell array

Values to be assigned in the indexing operation, specified as a cell array. For example, in the assignment operation obj(idx).prop = B, the value of varargin is {B}.

Output Arguments

updatedObj — Updated object after assignment operation

object

Updated object after assignment operation.
