Named Arguments (first attempt)

Message #5604 of 11930 |

Hi Guys,

Someone was wanting named arguments the other day, so I had a quick
first attempt at them tonight. You can see the results at
http://pipapo.org/iowiki/PasteBin/methodWithNamedArgs

o := Object clone
o test := methodWithNamedArgs(a, x, b, y,
assert( (x + y) == 10 )
assert( (a + b) == 31 )
)

o test(13, y=3, x=7, 18)

So who is going to be first to find a bug? ;-)

Jonathan.

... I think I agree. :) Does anyone else know of a case where it would be useful to keep "self" separate from "scope" or "target"? e.g. where we'd want to...	Kevin Edwards edwakev	Mar 3, 2005 2:30 am
