The Science of Programming/SwayPresentations/Objects/PublicAndPrivateComponents

Public and Private Components

Every component in a Sway Object is public:

  • A belief that programming is not a adversarial exercise
  • Simplifies the language (syntactically speaking)

However, it is possible, with a little bit of work, to make a component private. One method in Sway uses simple scoping rules (see the Class and Object Components page.

The other uses operator overloading.
