Re[2]: [Newbies] variableWordSubclass:

Hi John,

...

So far I've seen the hierarchy of FloatArray the method "new:" isn't on the class side anywhere. This is the reason because you get an error.

cre> i'm a real rookie here, but what does it mean - "new:" isn't on the cre> class side anywhere? where is "new:" then?

if you can't find new: up the hierarchy the things to look for are metaclsses and the class Behaviour. In the free books Stephane Ducasse collected Hopkins Horan provides a chapter on this topic.

It's a bit brain twisting and when reading I decided I could get by without really knowing about this detail :-))

Maybe someone else can shed more light on this, otherwise retry on squeak-dev.

Cheers,
