  • Object in AWK

    here is the small illustration of what is object in awk:

    https://github.com/digics/UID10/POINTER.jpg

    the ptr - is the any string that is used to address data in global arrays-fields
    so the all object's data is always located in global arrays using ptr as the index:

    FIELD[ ptr ]

    passing ptr - meaning passing unlimited number of possible arrays or strings - that's is the object is

    however to make an abstract unique string ptr "true" pointer we need associate it with it's class udentifier - and that is differ true pointer from an unique string - it's mandatory association with the class

    if ( ptr in CLASSPTR )

    # ptr is a pointer


    This association with the class is what turns a simple string into a "true" pointer.
