<H2><A NAME="sec:7.2"><SPAN class="sec-nr">7.2</SPAN> <SPAN class="sec-title">Accessing 
instance variables (slots)</SPAN></A></H2>

<A NAME="sec:slots"></A>

<P>The method <A NAME="idx:objectbothslot:203"></A>`<B>object<CODE>&lt;-&gt;</CODE>slot</B>' 
is used to access slots directly, bypassing possible methods with the 
same name. Normally, it should only be used in
<B><CODE>-&gt;</CODE>initialise</B> (see below) and when defining a 
method with the same name as a variable. Below is a fragment where a <TT>type</TT> 
slot is displayed by a text object named <TT>type</TT> in a graphical 
object. This variable has access <TT>get</TT>, associating a universal 
method <B><CODE>&lt;-</CODE>type</B> that yields the current value of 
the slot. The implementation of <B><CODE>-&gt;</CODE>type</B> uses the
<B><CODE>-&gt;</CODE>slot</B> method to write the argument in the <B><CODE>&lt;-</CODE>type</B> 
slot and subsequently performs the required side-effects. The ... 
indicate where the fragment is incomplete.
