How do I create enumerated types in MATLAB?

Question

Are there enumerated types in MATLAB? If not, what are the alternatives?

Answer 1

There is actually a keyword in MATLAB R2009b called 'enumeration'. It seems to be undocumented, and I cannot say I know how to use it, but the functionality is probably there.

You can find it in matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\examples\+examples

classdef(Enumeration) DmatFileMode < int32

    enumeration
        ReadMode(0)
        ReadCompatibilityMode(1)
        WriteMode(2)
    end

end
