Call an object method: Difference between revisions

==Icon and {{header|Unicon}}==

In Unicon all procedures and methods are dynamically invoked at run-time. The normal method of invoking a method is with instances of its class. While it is technically possible to call a method without having an instance it requires knowledge of the underlying translation of methods and classes to procedures and is somewhat unusual.

<lang Icon>procedure main()

foo_m1() # equivalent of class method, not normally used

bar := foo() # create instance

bar.m2() # call method m2 with self=bar

end

class foo(cp1,cp2)

method m1(m1p1,m1p2)

local ml1

static ms1

ml1 := m1p1

# do something

return

end

method m2(m2p1)

# do something else

return

end

initially

L := [cp1]

end</lang>

Note: Icon cannot translate code with objects. It may be possible for Icon to translate code preprocessed by Unicon if no other Unicon extensions are used.
