Libraries.System.Console

The Console is a helper class that represents printing and input windows. In addition to these helper methods, the console class also allows the user to retrieve any console arguments (also called command line arguments) that were passed to the program.

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action retrieves a copy of the console arguments that were passed to the system.

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

generates an input window and returns the text that was input.

Example Code

text value = Input()

This action generates an input window and returns the text that was input.

Example Code

text value = Input("What is your favorite color?")

Prints a message to the sodbeans output window

Example Code

Print "some message"
