Yes I do have them but without the ">>" signs
This is what I have inside the CharacterToken Class

characterData: anObject

                characterData := anObject

This is where pharo complains

characterToken :=  CharacterToken new.

characterToken characterData: AMPERSAND.

It says it doesn’t understand characterData though it is defined in the CharacterToken class

The setters and getters were generated by pharo. So im not sure about what the >> is for

Hi,

2013/4/24 Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) <mha53@mail.aub.edu>

Hello again,

If I have an instance variable A in ClassA and I want to use it in ClassB.

If I do the following  in ClassB

objectA := ClassA new.

objectA  A: "new value for A".

Why doesn’t this work? Isnt this calling the setter of A on the objectA ?  Pharo doesn’t understand it for some reason .

yes.

but a setter is regular method.

did you defined the method in ClassA.

also, by convention method names start with a lowercase.

Example:

Object subclass: #ClassA

  iv: 'a'

ClassA>>a: newValue

   a := newValue

objA := ClassA new.

objA a: 1

Cheers,

Luc
