Re: [Pharo-users] Private methods

by Alan Rodas

Private methods don't exist in Smalltalk. Every method is exposed as public, and anyone can call it, from anywhere. As you can select a protocol for your methods to arrange them under a name or category, you may use the "private" category. This indicates to the users that a method is private, and should not be called from outside the class. As oposite, every instance variable is protected, and it can be seen just from the class and its subclases. If you want to expose a variable, you need to create accessors. Hope this helps you.

Minimum spec

by Jeff Gray

I run Pharo on Win7 on a netbook and it works well. The only issue I have is the "intellisense". When I start typing a message it offers me some options in a list. To select anything but the first in the list takes upwards of 15 seconds. No biggy and I can certainly work round it. Is there a minimum spec for Pharo? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Minimum-spec-tp3022984p3022984.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Private methods

by Jeff Gray

Coming from doing a lot of java and C#, a lot of my classes' internal processing would be done with private methods. Is there a similar mechanism in smalltalk? I suspect I may be thinking about this all wrong :-) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Private-methods-tp3022981p3022981.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
