Example Character addMethod 013

 

 

Description

This example defines a method named Vowel that is invoked when the Character type receives an isVowel message. The Vowel method method converts the Character Value, to the English word "Yes" or to the English word "No" depending upon whether or not the character is a vowel.

 

Details

First Define the Vowel method:

(defun Vowel(c) (if (isMember c #(#\a #\e #\i #\o #\u #\A #\E #\I #\O #\U)) then "Yes" else "No") ) Returns: #<Lambda 123456>

Install the Vowel method and the message named isVowel in the Character Methods Dictionary.

(addMethod Character: isVowel: Vowel) Returns: #<Dictionary 123456>

To invoke the Lambda that responds to the isVowel message, issue the following statement:

(send isVowel: #\c) Returns: No

Alternatively, the Lambda may be invoked using the following syntax:

(isVowel: #\c) Returns: No

Notes and Hints

To view the entry in the methods Dictionary created by the addMethod function, you can use the method name to access the directory entry by

#<Dictionary 123456>[methodName:] or

To determine the number of assigned methods:

(length (methodsOf Boolean: ))

To access the nth method name:

(methodsOf Boolean: )[n 0]
