Re: [Pharo-users] Simple OO smaltalk question

OOP in Smalltalk is nearly the same as in Java! No typecheck

I could do the same thing this way, right, but this seems more verbose and ugly then it has to be.

(user isKindOf: RSPerson ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSPerson firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSAdmin ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSAdmin firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSTeacher ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSTeacher firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSStudent ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSStudent firstPageForUserClass) ].

^returnPage

why don't you either declare a factory or simply define methods on the RS-Object

RSPerson >> firstPageForUserClass ^ cccc

RSAdmin >> firstPageForUserClass RSTeacher >> firstPageForUserClass
