Question

In Boo, let's say I'm overriding a method that takes a parameter that takes string[] urls. Type inference, for whatever reason, isn't matching up to the base class, so I need to explicitly specify the type of the parameter.

class MyClass: MyBase
  override method(urls as Array[of (string)])
    dostuff()

This turns out not to be correct Boo syntax. What's the right way of specifying that I'm overriding a method that takes an array parameter?

Normally I prefer to expect an IEnumerable, but I'm overriding someone else's base class, which is part of Rhino.DSL.

Edited to add: It turns out my issue was only tangentially related to the array declaration syntax... my real problem was two different versions of the Boo Assembly being referenced in my project.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Parenthesis around a type represents an array of that type:

class MyClass : MyBase
  override def method(urls as (string)):
    dostuff()
