Hello,
My method function "move(obj)" does nothing when it is called. The obj.pos is left unchanged. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here's the class code:
classdef ball
    properties
        pos
        vel
        rad
    end
    methods
        function obj = ball(pos,vel,rad)
            if nargin ~= 0
                obj=ball;
                obj.pos = pos;
                obj.vel = vel;
                obj.rad = rad;
            end
        end
         function draw(obj) (...)
         end
         function move(obj)
             obj.pos(1)=obj.pos(1)+obj.vel(1);
             obj.pos(2)=obj.pos(2)+obj.vel(2);
         end
    end
end
Thanks!
-Jim

        Your class is a value class. If you want the new value of obj, then you need the move method to return obj. You may want your class to be a handle class
classdef ball < handle
