34 Object Oriented Programming
******************************

Octave has the ability to create user-defined classes—including the
capabilities of operator and function overloading.  Classes can protect
internal properties so that they may not be altered accidentally which
facilitates data encapsulation.  In addition, rules can be created to
address the issue of class precedence in mixed class operations.

   This chapter discusses the means of constructing a user class, how to
query and set the properties of a class, and how to overload operators
and functions.  Throughout this chapter real code examples are given
using a class designed for polynomials.
