Pronounciation when reading listings

[sitemaster]

When reading listings etc, is there a standard way of saying or pronouncing expressions that contain the -> in classes

A good example is

$this->Name = $Name;

How should one read it aloud?

Is code meant to be read aloud?

Hi,

You can read it as "Name of object this is $Name"... This is what you are asking??

Yes; thanks for your interest. I'm showing my age when I say that we used to read listing in Coral 66 which contained the := operator, like . . .

xyz:=x+y+z;

which we would have read as "xyz becomes equal to x plus y plus z"

and array assignments would be read:

a[12]:=65;

"a of 12 becomes equal to 65"

What I was interested in was a way of thinking how to put words on that statement.
