processes in classes?

[Clayton]

is it possible to have a process in a class that you can call (or in a module for that matter) for a music player that i am working on?(im being asked to do it OOT)

I think you're looking for Music.PlayFileReturn

And to answer your question, yes, it is possible to have a proccess, procedure, function, type, variable, or basically anything else inside a class.

[Clayton]

so would you do something like this

Turing:

class Play export play_from_cd process play_from_cd end play_from_cd end Play var p:^Play new Play,p fork Play(p).play_from_cd

[Tony]

no, because that code doesn't work.. have you tried?

I'd do something like

code:

class Play     export play_from_cd     process play_process         for i : 1 .. num_tracks             Music.PlayFile (filename (i))         end for     end play_process     procedure play_from_cd         put "lets play"         fork play_process     end play_from_cd end Play var p : ^Play new Play, p p -> play_from_cd

it appears that you can call only procedures and functions, not processes. Though you could create an internal function that would call a process on user's behalf.

It's possible to use a process to do that, but it's also possible to feed yourself by placing a chocolate bar between your buttocks and ramming it home with a broomstick.

I don't highly recommend either though.

Using processes in classes is not possible. Using processes is not possible. There is no such thing as processes.

Really, unless you are _complete_ comfortable with the rest of the entire language, and with threading models, and many many other ideas, processes are not something you should even be thinking about.

ok thanks tony that was i kinda obvious thing to do (just didnt try it lol)

That's a good one.
