How to bit shift in ThinBasic ?

[ReneMiner]

Private and Public are working bit different as in .net

You will use it within type/end type to grant local or global access to the properties or methods of a type but not write it in front of everything but acting as a switch.
Its like

Type tExample

'Public '(default setting / not needed here)
X As Double
Y As Double
Z as Double

Private  ' <<< all that follows until "Public" or "End Type" is from now private

A As Long
B As Long

Function DoSomethingPrivate()

End Function

Public  ' <<< switch to end private scope

Function DoSomethingPublic(ByRef lA As Long, ByRef lB as Long ) 
' here accessing Me.A or Me.B is possible
Me.A= lB - lA
Me.B = lB + lA
 since keyword "Me" signals a reference of tExample is accessing 
' its own data only while 

lA = Me.A
lB = Me.B

' were an illegal exploit since that would not obey the rules of privacy 
' because its not only giving direct access to the variables but also 
' tells theirs position in memory. Would lead to runtime error

end function

end type

Private 
' can not be private outside of type declarations

Am not sure if completely developed yet but if your code follows the rules
it will be compatible

@Rene Miner,

Am not sure if completely developed yet

I think that's the reason. Currently, "Private" is making no difference.

Hi,

private / public are reserved keywords, but they have no effect at the moment.

How to write a property in an UDT ? The "Private" keyword is making no difference in script. Does the UDT section in thinBasic is incomplete ?

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi gintibande,

I would say the most complete docs for UDT are currently available here:
https://thinbasic.github.io/book-thi...defined_types/

We are working on improving the help file docs to include this information.
Thanks for understanding.
