Method Calls
Zaidlang is deeply object oriented, so most code consists of invoking methods on objects, usually something like this:
dog.speak("Throw the ball!")
You have a receiver expression (here
dog) followed by a ., then a name (speak) and an argument list in parentheses (("Throw the ball!")). Multiple arguments are separated by commas:dog.command("fetch", "ball")
The argument list can also be empty:
dog.sit()
Zaidlang executes a method call like so:
- 1.Evaluate the receiver and arguments from left to right.
- 2.Look up the method on the receiver's object.
- 3.Invoke it, passing in the argument values.
