Respond to an unknown method call: Difference between revisions

=={{header|Sidef}}==

The special '''AUTOLOAD''' method gets called when a method isn't defined in the current class:

<lang ruby>class Example {

method foo {

say "this is foo"

};

method bar {

say "this is bar"

};

method AUTOLOAD(name) {

say ("tried to handle unknown method %s" % name);

if (var args = _; args.len?) {

say ("it had arguments: %s" % args.join(', '));

}

}

}

var example = Example.new;

example.foo; # prints “this is foo”

example.bar; # prints “this is bar”

example.grill; # prints “tried to handle unknown method grill”

example.ding("dong"); # prints “tried to handle unknown method ding”

# prints “it had arguments: dong”</lang>
