S = INVOKE(OBJ) returns structure array S containing a list of
all methods supported by the object or interface OBJ along
with the prototypes for these methods.

METHODSVIEW(OBJECT) displays the methods of OBJECT’s class along
with the properties of each method.

Follow along in notes above and it should be clear enough.

Like I mentioned, please suggest how the process might be improved if you have ideas. Anything else is welcome too.
