??? Too many input arguments.

I follow example in Matalb Object Oriented> Hiearchy to create a parent class called DocAsset and child class called DocBond. I included the text of these classes below cause I cannot find how to attach file. When I try to create an instant of the class I got these error messages: >> t = DocBond ??? Too many input arguments.

Error in ==> DocBond>DocBond.DocBond at 12 function obj = DocBond(description,faceValue,yield,currentBondYield)

>> t = DocBond('bond 1',1,2,3) ??? Too many input arguments.

Error in ==> DocBond>DocBond.DocBond at 12 function obj = DocBond(description,faceValue,yield,currentBondYield)

I believe constructor should be able to handle with variant input argument otherwise I have correct number of input.

Hi, I put it here hope you can load it. Let me know if you cannot https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2xR6sx29-9hRDQ3dVAzTzVYLXM/edit In project, I modified a little bit by using enum instead of string.

I found the answer, because I replaced string by eNum and I cannot use %s to print enum. The issue is error message here is not helpful at all.
