How to upcast an object?
Show older comments
In Matlab OOP, say I have a class B that inherits from A, then how do I upcast B to A without explicitly copying properties? (The cast function is for numeric values only and I'm interested in custom class objects.)

You would have to implement your own converter function as far as I know, with the name of the base class to convert to.
It seems a bit over the top for conversion to the base class rather than some other class, but I don't know of another method.
