Constructing class instance


Constructing a class instance is done using the new keyword, as follows:

var user = new User("Benjamin");

In this example, we create an instance of the User class. Doing so calls the class' constructor. The class constructor is defined in the class as the public non-static new function. It may take any number of parameters. The following is an example of our User class:

class User
{
   public function new(title : String, name : String)
   {
      //Do things
   }
}

You can call the superclass's constructor by calling super() (with parameters if needed).

You can access the current class instance using the this keyword.
