When you are inside a class, you don't use send. You just call the method with a regular function-application looking syntax.<div><br></div><div><div>#lang racket</div><div>(define c%</div><div> (class object%</div><div> (define/public (m x)</div><div> (printf "n on ~s is ~s\n" x (n x)))</div><div> (define/private (n x)</div><div> (* x x))</div><div> (super-new)))</div><div><br></div><div>(send (new c%) m 11)</div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Robby<br><br>On Thursday, May 30, 2013, Sean Kanaley wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>In C++ for example, the following is valid:<br><br></div>class A {<br></div>private:<br></div> int test(A a) { return n + a.n; }<br></div> int n;<br>};<br><br></div> The key point is the "a.n" is valid.<br><br></div>I'm trying to create a 3d game in Racket, and in order to avoid recomputing world transforms all the time, child objects (say a rotatable gun on a parent tank) take a parameter to their parent which is used to add the child ("this") to the parent, in order that the parent update a delayed world transform computation in case of multiple calls to set-trans!, roughly:<br> <br></div>(define obj%<br> (class object% (super-new) (init ...
