Senegal Tour

final class Birb {

Birb(name, species) {

this.name = name;

this.species = species;

}

}

var senegal = Birb("Mel", "Senegal");

println(senegal.name);

println(senegal.species);

Notes

• Senegal classes can be final, once you've set its fields within the constructor, they cannot change.
• The Birb() function is a constructor
• Senegal is dynamically typed, which is why we dont specify types for the constructors arguments.
• Notice how fields were accessed before being declared, Senegal classes do not allow variable declarations, but rather automatically adds fields where needed.
• Variable declarations follow the syntax var name = expression.

Data Types

• bool - true or false.
• number - Senegal numbers are 64-bit floating-point numbers as specified in the IEEE 754 standard. 1 bit for the sign, 11 for exponents and 52 for the value itself.
• List - A collection of dynamic objects.
• Map - Key / Value pairs, key must be a String.
• Strings - Literals (char array), surrounded by either " or 's.

Functions, classes, and instances, are also first-class values.

Example

// bool

var bool = true;

// number

var number = 0;

// List

var list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Map

var map = {"key": number};

var string = "This is a string";
