External Interfaces

Introduction to Programming Examples

The following programming examples demonstrate the MATLAB interface to Java classes and objects:

• Example - Reading a URL
• Example - Finding an Internet Protocol Address
• Example - Communicating Through a Serial Port
• Example - Creating and Using a Phone Book

Each example contains the following sections:

• Overview - Describes what the example does and how it uses the Java interface to accomplish it. Highlighted are the most important Java objects that are constructed and used in the example code.
• Description - provides a detailed description of all code in the example. For longer functions, the description is divided into functional sections that focus on a few statements.
• Running the Example - Shows a sample of the output from execution of the example code.

The example descriptions concentrate on the Java-related functions. For information on other MATLAB programming constructs, operators, and functions used in the examples, see the applicable sections in the MATLAB documentation.
