Use packages to group the methods of the class

It's possible to group the methods of the classe like this:

    @Myclass
        Myclass.m
        +pkg1
            method11.m
        +pkg2
            method12.m
            method22.m
        othermethod.m

and use it with obj.pkg2.method12

Hi Andrea Stevanato,

according to Matlab documentation there is no packaging of methods introduced:

https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/organizing-classes-in-folders.html

You may have a "private" folder containing methods with private access. All other methods have to be in class folder.

Kind regards,

So there aren't possibility to define packages in class. I have to define packages cause i need to call obj.utility.method or obj.objective.method and so on. I can accept something like this, maybe with different notation, if there are the possibility to do it.

[Robert U]

If you want to cluster your methods according to purpose, you could go for the function name: obj.utility_method1(), obj.utility_method2()...

Kind regards,

Robert

It sounds like they should be in separate classes if you have a need to call them in that way, although I can't think off hand of anything which specifically drives the need for how a function ought to be called, without an example.
