A Question of Style: msg#00162lang.smalltalk.squeak.beginners
Hi, I know the rules for naming accessor and setter methods. But what do I do when the accessor method needs a parameter? I'll try to provide an example. A vendor sells an item called #apple. If I want to get the vendor's price for that #apple, I use a method such as the following: Vendor>>priceOf: aSymbol Now, to make the setter method, I have followed this pattern: Vendor>>priceOf: aSymbol is: newPrice Does this follow traditional patterns? I'll admit I have read the first half of "Smalltalk with Style" but not the second. Should I instead make the setter method look like this: Vendor>>setPriceOf: aSymbol to: newPrice ? Thanks, Tim [PS - Thanks to everyone who has been helping me on here lately, I have been lax in responding. You all bring up some good ideas and tips.]
