And you also said that you had a class with 36 methods and you were clearly upset about it. There were three exclamation marks. > 2) I have to return each spec element which makes sense to me but what annoys > me is that I have to do it verbosely by returning each variable separately in > its own method.

Please use the conventional terminology so that we can better understand each other. You were talking about the names of the spec elements before and that was very confusing (and you never cleared it up). As I said in a previous mail, you don’t write accessors by hand, you generate them. Try in Nautilus: click on a class name, right click for the menu, Refactoring->Class Refactoring->Generate accesors. Or cmd-h-a. It will propose a list of accessors to generate for you. ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile
