Classes

In ZScript, it is possible to program in an OOP manner by using class constructs.

Classes behave much like in other OOP programming languages: they couple fields with functions in a single object.

Bellow is an example of a class implemented in ZScript

class FriendlyClass
{
  var name:string;

  func FriendlyClass(n:string)
  {
    name = n;
  }
  
  func sayHello()
  {
    print("Hello, " + name + "!");
  }
}

...
var friendly = FriendlyClass("John Doe"); // Note there's no 'new' before calling the constructor
friendly.sayHello();

Classes are defined with the following syntax:

class <classname> [: <baseClass>]
{
    // Class contents...
}
