MATLAB Function Reference Volume 1: A - E - Bad Request

2class
Purpose Create object or return class of object
Syntax str = class(object)
obj = class(s,'class_name')
obj = class(s,'class_name',parent1,parent2...)
obj = class(struct([]),'class_name',parent1,parent2...)
Description str = class(object) returns a string specifying the class of object.
The following table lists the object class names that may be returned. All
except the last one are MATLAB classes.
cell Cell array
char Characters array
double Double-precision floating point number array
function handle Array of values for calling functions indirectly
int8 8-bit signed integer array
int16 16-bit signed integer array
int32 32-bit signed integer array
sparse 2-D real (or complex) sparse array
struct Structure array
uint8 8-bit unsigned integer array
uint16 16-bit unsigned integer array
uint32 32-bit unsigned integer array
'matlab_class_name' Name of user-defined MATLAB class
'java_class_name' Name of Java class
obj = class(s,'class_name') creates an object of MATLAB class
'class_name' using structure s as a template. This syntax is valid only in a
function named class_name.m in a directory named @class_name (where
'class_name' is the same as the string passed into class).
