Create a subclass in subfolder

Hi,

I want to make a subclass in a subfolder.

I have the main folder with main_class.m (working directory)

In this folder i want to create many subfolders with many different subclasses. How is this done?

I need to specify that the subclass should inherit from a superclass in parent directory. Plain like this does not work:

classdef sub_class < main_class
    %instrObj creates an instrument object
    
    properties
        Property1
    end
    
    methods
        function obj = untitled(inputArg1,inputArg2)
            %UNTITLED Construct an instance of this class
            %   Detailed explanation goes here
            obj.Property1 = inputArg1 + inputArg2;
        end
        
        function outputArg = method1(obj,inputArg)
            %METHOD1 Summary of this method goes here
            %   Detailed explanation goes here
            outputArg = obj.Property1 + inputArg;
        end
    end
end

Thanks.

If all the classes and sub-classes are completely contained in their own classdef mfiles, then it doesn't matter where within your folder tree you put the classdef files, as long as they are all visible to Matlab, i.e., all branches of the tree are on the Matlab path.

If you are using Class Folders, however, the sub-class @-folders cannot be sub-folders of the parent class @-folders. But that is the only restriction.

Yes. Now it works. I struggled several hours with this yesterday and after your feedback I just tried the same thing again and it works. Thanks!
