DOLLAR.Class | R Documentation |
Makes the fields and methods of a Class accessible via the $
operator. This method is never called explicitly, but through an indirect
usage of the $
operator, e.g. obj$name
or
obj$getValue()
.
This method will first search for a get<Name>()
method,
e.g. if name has the value "age"
, a getAge()
will be
looked for. If such a method exists it will be called with the Class
as the first and only argument, e.g. getAge(this)
.
A get<Name>()
is only looked for if <name>
is not a
private field. A private field is a name beginning with a
.
(period). The rational for this naming convention is to be
consistent with how ls()
works, which will not list
such members by default.
If no such method exists, first then, this method will look a
field in the Class can has the name name
.
If such neither exists, a method with name name
will be
searched for and returned.
If no fields or methods are found at all, NULL
is returned.
