Classes in ASIL all derive from Object. (Maybe moved into a namespace later.) You use the following syntax to declare one:
class MyClass extends MyBaseClass implements IIinterface public constructor ' Initialize the class with the default constructor public constructor var String strString ' This constructor takes a string self.strString = strString static constructor ' Initialize some static members public var String strString private static var Boolean hidden = false private const i% = 3 ' If MyClass were declared with the abstract keyword, Test could be declared with the abstract keyword instead of virtual protected virtual boolean Test return false creator return 7 ' 7 additional words
This is the what the declaration of the Object class will probably look like along with some related interfaces:
class abstract Object public constructor ' Some code public virtual function toString returns String return type.toString public static final TypeInstance type ' See [Reflection] interface IComparable inherits IEquatable public enum InstanceCompareResult lessThan equal greaterThan public function compare var const Object compareThis returns InstanceCompareResult interface ICloneable public function clone returns Object interface IEquatable public function equals var const Object compareThis returns Boolean
