Member Variables
A member variable is a variable that is associated with a specific object, and accessible for all its member methods.
Declaring Member Variables
When declaring a member variable, its data type must be specified. The declaration methods vary based on the data type of the variables:
Scalars
Scalars include basic data types such as INT, CHAR, FLOAT, DOUBLE, STRING, etc. The
declaration method is: variableName :: dataType. For example:
age :: INT, name :: STRING.
Regular Vectors
When declaring member variables as regular vectors, the method is similar to
declaring scalars, but you need to add VECTOR after the data type
to indicate that the member variable is a regular vector. The declaration method is:
variableName :: dataType VECTOR. For example: age ::
INT VECTOR, name :: STRING VECTOR.
Array Vectors
When declaring member variables as array vectors, the method is similar to declaring
regular vectors, but you need to add [] after the data type to
indicate that the member variable is an array vector. The declaration method is:
variableName :: dataType[] VECTOR. For example: age ::
INT[] VECTOR.
