Nicolas has a good answer. Now you could explore this yourself. First, as a reference inspect "Collection withAllSubclasses" on its own. Then try debugging into the expression (from the context menu in the Playground.) In particular in OrderedCollection>>collect: step-INTO "aBlock value: ....." For an even lower level (probably too low), try debugging into... OpalCompiler compile: 'Collection withAllSubclasses collect: #numberOfLinesOfCode' or more simply debug... OpalCompiler compile: '#numberOfLinesOfCode inspect'. Other things you could explore * Look at the class comment for class Symbol * Look at the tests of class SymbolTest * In the Browser with class Symbol selected, right-click and choose Analyze>Class refs. cheers -ben > > I also want to know the other cases where I can use symbol. > > Is there any tutorial about using symbol? > > Thanks > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://forum.world.st/Using-symbol-tp4916159.html > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >
