# Classes
Basically kotlin syntax.
Syntax and semantics heavily inspired by Kotlin.
## Create a new instance of a class
`new` not required, in fact, forbidden.
To create an instance of a class call it as if it were a function,
without `new`.
```thp
val dog = Dog()
val animal = Animal()
```
## Simple class
## Simple class
Why'd you do this tho?
Classes are declared with the `class` keyword.
```thp
class SimpleClass
class Animal
val instance = SimpleClass()
val instance = Animal()
```
## Properties & methods
## Properties
Properties are declared with `var`/`val`.
They **must** declare their datatype.
```thp
class SimpleClass
class Person
{
// This is an error. Properties must declare their datatype,
// even if the compiler can infer it.
val name = "Jane Doe"
// This is correct
val String name = "Jane Doe"
}
```
Properties are private by default,
but can be made public with `pub`.
```thp
class Person
{
// Properties are private by default
var String? name = ...
val String name = "John Doe"
// Made public with `pub`
pub var String? surname = ...
// To make a property public use `pub`
pub var Int age = 30
}
```
// Methods are private by default
fun display_name()
More information about how properties interact with the constructor
is found in the contructor section.
## Methods
Methods are declared with `fun`, as regular functions.
```thp
class Person
{
fun greet()
{
// `$` is used instead of $this. Mandatory
print($name)
print("Hello")
}
}
```
Methods are private by default, and are made public with `pub`.
```thp
class Person
{
// This method is private
fun private_greet()
{
print("Hello from private method")
}
pub fun get_name() -> String?
// Use `pub` to make a method public
pub fun greet()
{
$name
print("Hello from greet")
}
}
val p = Person()
p.greet() //: Hello from greet
p.private_greet() // Compile time error. Private method.
```
## This
THP uses the dollar sign `$` as this. It is **required** when
using a class property/method.
```thp
class Person
{
val String name = "Jane Doe"
pub fun get_name() -> String
{
return $name
}
pub fun greet()
{
val person_name = $get_name()
print("Hello, I'm {person_name}")
}
}
```
## Static members
no
Static members are detailed in their own page.
## Constructor
Kotlin style
(for now) THP's constructors are inspired by Kotlin.
PHP only allows a single constructor, and so does THP.
The basic constructor has the syntax of function parameters.
```thp
class Cat(
var String name,
var Int lives = 9,
val String surname = "Doe",
// |this is the constructor |
class Animal(String fullname, Int age)
val a1 = Animal("Nal", 4)
```
The class properties can be declared in the constructor,
using the keywords `pub`, `var`, `val`:
```thp
class Animal(
// Since we are using val/var, these are promoted to class properties
val String fullname,
var Int age,
)
{
pub fun get_name() -> String
pub fun say()
{
$name
}
pub fun die()
{
$lives -= 1
if $lives <= 0
{
print("Cat {$name} is death")
}
else
{
print("Cat {$name} is life still")
}
// Here we are using the properties declared in the constructor
print("My name is {$fullname} and i'm {$age} years old")
}
}
val michifu = Cat("Michifu")
print(michifu.get_name())
val a1 = Animal("Nal", 4)
a1.say() //: My name is Nal and i'm 4 years old
```
With kotlin's `init` block.
By using this syntax you are declaring properties and assigning them
at the same time.
The contructor parameters can also have default values.
### Constructor visibility
The constructor is public by default. It can be made private/protected
like this:
```thp
class Dog(val String name)
{
Int name_length = name.length()
class Animal
private constructor(
val String fullname,
var Int age,
)
{...}
```
### Derived properties
You can declare properties whose values depend on values
on the constructor.
```thp
class Animal(
val String fullname,
)
{
// A property whose value depends on `fullname`
// This is executed after the contructor
pub val Int name_length = $fullname.length
}
val a2 = Animal("Doa")
print(a2.name_length) //: 3
```
### Init block
If you need to additional logic in the constructor you can
use a `init` block.
```thp
class Animal(
val String fullname,
)
{
init
{
print("Dog has been instantiated")
print("{$fullname} in contruction...")
}
}
val a3 = Animal("Lola") //: Lola in construction
```
## Inheritance
Kotlin style
```thp
// Base class
class Animal(var String name)
{
pub fun say_name()

```

## Class constructor that may return an error
Working theory:
```thp
class Fish(
val String name,
var Int lives = 9,
)
extends Animal(name)
throws Error
val fish_result = Fish("bubble") // fish_result will be a `Result[Fish,Error]`
val fish = try fish_result
```
