Nevertheless, I don't think it belongs to The Cuis Book contents. The book is a gentle introduction to Cuis-Smalltalk, avoiding concepts not needed to enjoy the journey with the book. I will say the same about private/protected variable. No need to introduce noise in the head of the reader. To go beyond the Cuis book, it will be fun to edit a dedicated wiki book where the contents discussed there could be added. There are a lot of wiki books hosted by the Wikimedia foundation, <a href="https://www.wikibooks.org/">https://www.wikibooks.org/</a> but nothing yet about Cuis. For example about Computer programming: <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Shelf:Computer_programming"> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Shelf:Computer_programming</a> <div> Le 10/03/2023 à 21:22, Jaromir Matas via Cuis-dev a écrit :<o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> > The same goes for binary messages, e.g. > > 2 + 3 :: isPrime<o:p></o:p> True, and it could be worth mentioning this explicitly in the Cuis book as well as this (::) is an extension not present in Squeak or Pharo… Thanks,<o:p></o:p> </blockquote> <pre>-- </pre> <pre>GNU Dr. Geo</pre> <pre><a href="http://drgeo.eu">http://drgeo.eu</a></pre> <pre><a href="http://blog.drgeo.eu">http://blog.drgeo.eu</a></pre> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
