How exacyly do you get variables within a program with self?
Like in Java you have:
private int a
public void sa(int a) { this.a = a}
public void ga() { return this.a }
VB has 'ME' and C# has 'this' etc.
But whats the Lua equivalent of this? Is this in the right direction?
local a
function sa(a)
self.a = a
end
It is somewhat how you are saying it, but the OOP approach is a little bit different. The following is actually the method.
local t = {
a
}
t.__index = t
function t:sa(x)
self.a = x
end
And then, to call the function:
t:sa(21)
or
t.sa( t, "some string this time?" )
