OO Hello World - Zonnon

Tweet

The Hello World version of the program in Zonnon (another Pascal/Oberon inspired language) is here.

By the way, you can see my previous post here: http://carlosqt.blogspot.com/2010/06/oo-hello-world.html
where I give some details on WHY these "OO Hello World series" samples. 

Version 1 (Minimal):

The minimum you need to type to get your program compiled and running.

module Main;

type {ref} Greet = object 
 var  
  name : string;

 procedure {public} Salute(name: string);
 begin 
  self.name := name.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + name.Substring(1, name.Length - 1);  
  writeln("Hello " + name + "!");
 end Salute;
begin
 name := "";
end Greet;

var 
 g: Greet;
begin 
 g := new Greet();
 g.Salute("world");
end Main.

Version 2 (Verbose):

Explicitly adding instructions and keywords that are optional to the compiler.

module Main;
import System;

type {public, ref} Greet = object 
 var {private} 
  name : string;

 procedure {public} Salute(name: string);
 begin 
  self.name := name.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + name.Substring(1, name.Length - 1);  
  writeln("Hello " + self.name + "!");
 end Salute;
begin
 self.name := "";
end Greet;

var 
 g: Greet;
begin
 g := new Greet();
 g.Salute("world"); 
end Main.

The Program Output:

Zonnon Info:

“Zonnon is a general purpose programming language in the Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon family. Its conceptual model is based on objects, definitions, implementations and modules. Its computing model is concurrent, based on active objects which interact via syntax controlled dialogs.” Taken from: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonnon)
