How can I call a function inside a class in the command window?

I'm new to matlab and I want to call a function contained inside a class in the comand window to run it. The method is not static. How can I do it? Also is there a simpler way to run the function? Also what is obj?

classdef my_class
    
    properties
        param
    end
    
    methods
        
        function [x,y] = my_function(obj,a,b)
            ....
        end
    end
end

You can create an instance of my_class,

A = my_class

and then call any public methods of my_class through that instance, such as

A.my_function(a,b)

I only passed two argument into my_function because the first argument (obj) is always the instance of the class, in this case A. It is similar to 'this' in Java or 'self' in Python. You don't have to call it obj - you could define your function as

function [x,y] = my_function(this,a,b)
    ....
end

if you wanted.

What if the code is like that? The input argument "value" is a .txt file.

classdef my_class
    
    properties
        prop
    end
    
    methods
        
        function [output,value] = my_function (obj,input,value)
            
            prop1     = obj.prop(1);       
            prop2     = obj.prop(2);       
            prop3     = obj.prop(3);       
         
            in1      = input(1);           
            in2      = input(2);           
            in3      = input(3); 
        end
    end
end

Jay, is the value name of the .txt file (a char array)? You can still call any public method of a class using the syntax described by Tommy.

In addition to above going through this linkwould help you ramp up using classes in MATLAB.
