Listing 3.

Example of reading in a Neo object. Unlike the example in Listing 2, the derived class constructor (line 6), takes a Neo object as an argument. The base class constructor still needs to be called though it is filled with null data initially. In the buildDataStructures function (line 11), the spike trains are read from the Neo object and the structures are iteratively constructed. Once again the spikeActivity structure is sorted (line 26). Finally, at this point all of the information about the object should be available and line 27 marks the location where the parameters that were set to null in the constructor (line 7), would be set using that information.
