Type of indexing operation, identified as an IndexingOperationType enumeration member:

  • Brace

  • Dot

  • Paren

  • ParenDelete

Attributes:

GetAccess
public
SetAccess
immutable

List of indices referenced in indexing operation, specified as a cell array. When the Type property is Dot, accessing this property results in an error.

Attributes:

GetAccess
public
SetAccess
immutable

Name of the field referenced in a dot indexing operation, specified as a string. When the Type property has any value except for Dot, accessing this property results in an error.

Examples

Sample Property Values

This table shows examples of customized indexing calls and the type of IndexingOperation instances that MATLAB creates. Expressions with more than one indexing operation generate arrays of IndexingOperation instances.
