# Multiple Dispatch
|
||||
|
||||
# In Julia, all named functions are generic functions
|
||||
# This means that they are built up from many small methods
|
||||
# For example, let's make a function meow:
|
||||
function meow(cat::Lion)
|
||||
cat.roar # access properties using dot notation
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
function meow(cat::Panther)
|
||||
"grrr"
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
function meow(cat::Tiger)
|
||||
"rawwwr"
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
meow(tigger) #=> "rawwr"
|
||||
meow(Lion("brown","ROAAR")) #=> "ROAAR"
|
||||
meow(Panther()) #=> "grrr"
|
||||
|
||||
function pet_cat(cat::Cat)
|
||||
println("The cat says $(meow(cat))")
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
pet_cat(tigger) #=> ERROR: no method pet_cat(Tiger,)
|
||||
pet_cat(Lion(Panther(),"42")) #=> prints "The cat says 42"
