instance failure

Where do you set moneys, shopItems, and pay?

[subtle summit]

Do I have to assign them to the shop class? I thought it was enough to refer to the classes like moneys.money

[wraith totem]

Which Money do you want the variable moneys to hold

[subtle summit]

Ah I see, I got a bit confused there. money, is the field in the other script which holds the value, and moneys is the instance for the class, if that is what you mean?

[wraith totem]

A variable is like a shoebox full of data. The box can fit a Money in it, and is named moneys. Whenever you refer to moneys in the script, it pulls the shoebox off the shelf, grabs the Money out of it, and gives it to the code

[subtle summit]

Yeah so the code should go like this right?
moneys (instance) -> Money (Class) -> money (variable) ?

by doing this moneys.money

[wraith totem]

A class is just a pattern that tells the instance what sort of stuff it has

So, you create an instance of the Money class, then that class is no longer part of the picture. It's just the type that object is

moneys the instance has a money variable

[subtle summit]

Ah I think I know now, I have to make an instance for that variable too. So I make another int, and do this mon = moneys.money; hm?
