Classes

Dyvil is an object-oriented programming language. And like every other OOP language, it has some notion of Classes. They allow you to group common behavior and properties into one structure that describes objects. The example below displays how a common example, the Person class, can be written in Dyvil:

class Person
{
    let name: String
    let age: int

    func greet() -> void = print "Hello, \(name)!"
    
    // constructors omitted
}

The Person class has two properties, a name and an age. The name is a String of characters that holds the name of the person. The age describes how old the person is, in years.

You will also notice the greet method. Given some person, you can call it like

let person = Person("Peter", 20)
person.greet() // prints "Hello, Peter"
