[REBOL] basics: meaning and uses of make object! vs. context
From: jason::cunliffe::verizon::net at: 10-Jun-2002 10:35
Hi
I looked at Ladislav's amazing article
http://www.sweb.cz/LMecir/contexts.html
but it's still a bit beyond me ..
Please can anyone provide an introductory explanation of the difference between
make object!
and "context"? ..hopefully then I can get back to studying
Ladislav's essay.
These both appear to do the same thing:
o: make object! [
name: "jason"
email: [jasonic--nomadics--org]
sendme: func [message] [send email message]
]
o: context [
name: "jason"
email: [jasonic--nomadics--org]
sendme: func [message] [send email message]
]
>> o/name
== "jason"
>> o/email
== [jasonic--nomadics--org]
>> o/sendme "hello"
Q1: Are they different, and if so How?
Q2: Why/when/what determines which form to use..?
thanks
