The class statement defines classes. By default, class members are publicly accessible, which means that any code that can access the class can also access the class member. For more information, see JScript Modifiers.
Classes with Fields
Fields define the data used by an object and are similar to the properties in a prototype-based object. Here is an example of a simple class that has two fields. An instance of the class is created with the new operator:
| В |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
class myClass {
const answer : int = 42; // Constant field.
var distance : double; // Variable field.
}
var c : myClass = new myClass;
c.distance = 5.2;
print("The answer is " + c.answer);
print("The distance is " + c.distance); | |
The output of this program is:
| В | Copy Code |
|---|---|
The answer is 42 The distance is 5.2 | |
Classes with Methods
Classes can also contain methods, which are functions contained in the class. Methods define the functionality to manipulate the data of an object. The class myClass defined above can be redefined to include a method.
| В | Copy Code |
|---|---|
class myClass {
const answer : int = 42; // Constant field.
var distance : double; // Variable field.
function sayHello() :String { // Method.
return "Hello";
}
}
var c : myClass = new myClass;
c.distance = 5.2;
print(c.sayHello() + ", the answer is " + c.answer); | |
The output of this program is:
| В | Copy Code |
|---|---|
Hello, the answer is 42 | |
Classes with Constructors
You can define a constructor for a class. A constructor, which is a method with the same name as the class, is run when a class is created with the new operator. You may not specify a return type for a constructor. In this example, a constructor is added to the myClass class.
| В | Copy Code |
|---|---|
class myClass {
const answer : int = 42; // Constant field.
var distance : double; // Variable field.
function sayHello() :String { // Method.
return "Hello";
}
// This is the constructor.
function myClass(distance : double) {
this.distance = distance;
}
}
var c : myClass = new myClass(8.5);
print("The distance is " + c.distance); | |
The output of this program is:
| В | Copy Code |
|---|---|
The distance is 8.5 | |
