I want to know more about OOP in Adept

[ghost]

It seems to me Adept's OOP is more similar to Objective C than C++. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Classes follow similar to C++, except without multiple inheritance.

You have to mark virtual methods with virtual, and overridden methods with override.

import basics

class Shape () {
    constructor {}

    virtual func getArea() float = 0.0
}

class Rectangle extends Shape (w, h float) {
    constructor(w, h float){
        this.w = w
        this.h = h
    }

    override func getArea() float = this.w * this.h
}

func main {
    shape *Shape = new Rectangle(5.0f, 10.0f)
    defer delete shape
    print(shape.getArea())
}

The syntax is like C++ but the nature of it is like Objective C, which is dynamic dispatch isn't it?

[IsaacShelton]

Yes, but with less overhead compared to objective c
