1. Another OOP library
Hello all,
I have written an OOP library for Euphoria. I wrote this lib
for my own purposes but if anyone is interested in yet
another OOP lib then I'll post it. However, before I do, I
need some help with naming conventions. I originally named
the routines used for retrieving and changing a property
as Get() and Set() respectively but realized that this
causes a namespace conflict with get.e's Get() routine.
I changed my Get() to Read() but that might be hard to
remember for users besides the potential conflict with
any number of other I/O library routines. I was wondering if
anyone has any suggestions for naming these two routines in
a way that will be easy to remember, understand, and type
with a minimal chance of causing naming conflicts with other
include files.
TIA and let me know if anyone is possibly interested in
this lib.
later,
Lewis Townsend

Try MyOOP_get() and MyOOP_set() ?

Lewis:
Just use Get_() and Set_()

OOPGet(), OOPSet() ???
getOOP(), setOOP() ???
GetOOP(), SetOOP()???
GET(), SET() ????
after all, EU *is* case sensitive, but mebbe not the best choices...
typos and such would get gnarly...
Get_OOP(), Set_OOP() ???
OOP_Get(), OOP_Set() ???

Lewis,
I am quite interested in your OOP library--I studied every OOP lib then
existing while writing Object Euphoria and want to keep up. Given the
quality of your work generally, I expect to be impressed. Please post it,

Hello all,
Hawke' suggested:
OOPGet(), OOPSet() ???
getOOP(), setOOP() ???
GetOOP(), SetOOP()???
GET(), SET() ????
Get_OOP(), Set_OOP() ???
OOP_Get(), OOP_Set() ???
Thanks Hawke' for your suggestions. They got me thinking and I
have decided on "oget()" and "oset()". Just 4 characters each
and no SHIFT key involved. They SHOULD be easy to remember,
the "o" stands for Object...

Thanks Michael, I don't know what you base my general work
quality on since my only significant contribution to date
is NeilGUI but thanks anyway ;). I will post the lib very
soon. As soon as I write and test a few demo programs.
later all,
Lewis Townsend.

Lewis,
Neil qualifies you for such praise all by itself just as Win32lib would
quailfy David Cuny even if he had had noting to do with equal().

9. Re: Another OOP library
Hello All,
My OOP lib is now available at my web site:
http://geocities.com/keroltarr
http://geocities.com/keroltarr/download/LOOP.zip
It includes 2 demos and a comprehensive (IMO) HTML readme.
If another format is required by anyone let me know.
As always let me know what you (all) think about the lib.
later,
Lewis Townsend.
