Model.fromSnippet (Model)

Create new Model object from snippet of code within m-file

Syntax

m = Model.fromSnippet(snippetName, ...)

Input arguments

snippetName [ string ]

Name(s) of snippet(s) of code embedded in the same m-file as the call to this function.

Output arguments

m [ Model ]

New Model object based on the snippet(s) of code.

Options

The options are the same as in Model.fromFile.

Description

The snippet of model source code is placed within the very m-file (script or function) from where the Model.fromSnippet is called. In that file, the snippet needs to be enclosed within Matlab block comment signs, and inside those, within a start and and end mark as follows:

%{
snippetName>>>
...
... % Here goes the model source code
...
<<<snippetName 
%}

Note there is no space between the name of the snippet and the start and end markes, >>> and <<<, respectively.

The snippet can be placed anywhere in the m-file, before or after the Model.fromSnippet function.

Examples

m = Model.fromSnippet("example", Linear=true);
m.rho_x = 0.8;

%{
example>>>
    !variables
        x
    !parameters
        rho_x
    !shocks
        eps_x
    !equations
        x = rho_x*x{-1} + eps_x;
<<<example
%}

m = solve(m);
m = steady(m);
