Returns a new instance of the receiver class, whose object methods are the instance methods of the class. This method initializes a new instance by running its [init] methods. (See .) [new] also sends an [init] message. If you specify args, [new] passes these arguments on the [init] message.

Class class - new method

/* new method example */
a = .account~new             /* -> Object variable balance=0           */
y = .account~new(340.78)     /* -> Object variable balance=340.78      */
                             /*    plus free toaster oven              */
::class account subclass object
::method init                /* Report time each account created       */
                             /* plus free toaster when more than $100  */
Expose balance
Arg opening_balance
Say "Creating" self~objectName "at time" time()
If datatype(opening_balance, "N") then balance = opening_balance
else balance = 0
If balance > 100 then Say "  You win a free toaster oven"
