Example NumVector send 017

 

 

Description

This example first defines the method addValues. It then invokes the addMethod function to add the method in the Methods Dictionary. The method Increment will be then invoked by the send function calling the message in the Dictionary Methods Dictionary.

 

Details

Add a method named addValues which will add the values of all the fields in a Vector.

(addMethod NumVector: addValues: (lambda (s) (apply + s))) Returns: <Dictionary 123456>

Define a Vector that contains the amount of checks written for the month.

(define monthlyBills #(num| 400.54 2100.542 100.34 600.6532) ) Returns: #<NumVector 123456>

Invoke the method named addValues to compute the total amount checks written for the month.

(send addValues: monthlyBills) Returns: 3200

The method can be invoked simply by name:

(addValues: monthlyBills) Returns: 3202.0752

Notes and Hints

Dissecting the send command involves understanding the methods dictionary of any Analytic Information Server type. In general the send command is translated as a reference into the methods dictionary:

((ref (methodsOf (type object)) methodName object))

The statement :

(send addValues: monthlyBills)

is translated into

((ref (methodsOf (type monthlyBills)) addValues: ) monthlyBills)

Each statement segment results in:

(type monthlyBills) Returns: NumVector
(methodsOf (NumVector:)) Returns: #<Dictionary 123456>
(ref (#<Dictionary 123456>) addValues: ) Returns: #<Lambda 123456>
( #<Lambda 123456> monthlyBills) Returns: 3202.0752
