Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

Tonight's story: Every man older than OldMan.getMinimumAge() has been in perfect *unchanging* health for the last few months‽ To find out why, stay tuned! Our experts chime in to help you understand....

But then they really have no idea and try to convince you it’s from some stupid diet trick fed to them by a sponsor.

That's an instance property

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this some .NET convention that references to instances start with capital letters?

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, properties (like a field but with a getter and/or setter method, may or may not be backed by a field) are PascalCase

How is OldMan a property here? It's clearly the name of a class

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Instance properties are PascalCase.

Yes I know, I've coded in .NET before, but so are class names.

Okay, but this makes more sense as an instance method rather than a static one
