Concepts behind Field, new, method, abstract, etc

| [Original question has been deleted due to the idiocy of its nature] Now that I understand those concepts somewhat, I have other questions that you might be able to help me with that the Guide didn't seem to answer. 1. I understand that a Field is specifically attached to a type, or object. A function is not. So when I see a function inside a Type declaration, is it there just so that someone reading the code knows what object it affects? Could you put that function outside of the type declaration and have the same functionality? Same goes for Globals and Locals declared in a Type. 2. I still don't understand: Method New () "New" is a Blitz word. You can't type "Method Print", so why can you do this? (And what does it do?) How would you even reference this Method when it doesn't have a name(that I can see)? 3. I've also heard that the Eachin Command is slow. Is there an alternative? |

| Thank you for the link. I've also found the following link to be VERY helpful: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/concepts/ |

| Also Bruce Eckels Book while written for Java, contains information useful to BlitzMAX developers. Particularly in the early chapters. |
