## SUBSREF Overloaded Class Indexing

Section: Object Oriented Programming

### Usage

This method is called for expressions of the form

      c = a(b), c = a{b}, c = a.b

and overloading the `subsref` method allows you to define the meaning of these expressions for objects of class `a`. These expressions are mapped to a call of the form

      b = subsref(a,s)

where `s` is a structure array with two fields. The first field is

- `type` is a string containing either `'()'` or `'{}'` or `'.'` depending on the form of the call.
- `subs` is a cell array or string containing the the subscript information.

When multiple indexing experssions are combined together such as `b = a(5).foo{:}`, the `s` array contains the following entries

      s(1).type = '()'  s(1).subs = {5}
      s(2).type = '.'   s(2).subs = 'foo'
      s(3).type = '{}'  s(3).subs = ':'
