External module not found
by Richard Kenneth Eng Nov. 18, 2018

Nov. 18, 2018

I have a most peculiar problem. I've been using Pierce Ngâs PasswordCrypt <http://www.samadhiweb.com/blog/2017.02.18.shacrypt.html> encryption package with Pharo 5. Now that I'm using Pharo 6, it doesn't seem to work anymore. The ffiCall:module: message always gives me "External module not found". So my question is, what alternative package can I use to replace the it for Pharo 6? Should I go back to Pharo 5?

Do you think there is anyway we could run one of these virtually? I would love to have been involved, but finding time to travel is tricky. A virtual (or blended) event would be much easier. If it helps, I have a corporate Zoom account thst would support up to 500 participants - gotta think big :-) Cheers Andy

Re: [Pharo-users] Question about pharo's object model
by Julien Nov. 15, 2018

Nov. 15, 2018

Hello and welcome :-) When a method is Â« public Â» , it means that it is usable by any other object in the system. In Pharo, methods are Â« public Â» and instance variables are Â« protected Â». Â« protected Â» means that the instance variable is only usable from inside the class defining it or from subclasses of the class defining it. Some languages (as Java) define the concepts of Â« private Â» method / instance variable which means that the method / instance variable can only be accessed from the class defining it (and not its subclasses) and Â« package Â» which means that the method / instance variable can only be accessed from classes inside the same package. In fact, in java you can choose the visibility you want for each method / instance variable. In Pharo, this is fixed, methods are Â« public Â» and instance variables are Â« protected Â». So you do not need to bother. All these concepts are related to encapsulation [1] which is an important concept of OOP. BTW, there are some posts related to your question on StackOverflow [2] which I recommend to you.

Re: [Pharo-users] Question about pharo's object model
by Ben Coman Nov. 15, 2018

Generically across programming languages... - a private method can only me invoked by an object of the same class (or subclass) i.e. it can only be invoked by itself. - a public method can be invoked from any object. In Pharo, variables are private and methods are public. The advantage of private methods is to avoid users calling utility methods that only do half the work to leave data in a consistent state. Also its clear which methods are outside you public API so you are free you change those without impacting users. Rather than such a forced constrint, Pharo deals with private methods by convention: - prepending "private" or "basic" to the front of the method name - placing methods into a protocol (or method category) named "private". - having a protocol "api" for the public api and everything else to be considered private Note that "protocols" have no impact on program execution - they are just an organisational tool. All reflects Pharo philosophy... Reduced forced constraints making it quicker and easier to program "in the flow" i.e. you "can" break convention and call "private" methods if that is pragmatic and you are willing to accept the risk that you don't properly comprehend the behavior or the behaviour changes later without warning. cheers -ben On Thu, 15 Nov 2018 at 12:44, iu136 via Pharo-users < pharo-users(a)lists.pharo.org> wrote: > hello guys > I'm new to programming, I started programming using pharo, I had a question > about pharo's object model.
