Structs

// V doesn't have classes. But you can define methods on types.
// A method is a function with a special receiver argument.
// The receiver appears in its own argument list between the fn keyword and the method name.
// In this example, the can_register method has a receiver of type User named u.
// The convention is not to use receiver names like self or this, but a short, preferably one letter long, name.
struct User {
	age int
}

fn (u User) can_register() bool {
	return u.age > 16
}

user := User{age: 10}
println(user.can_register()) // "false" 

user2 := User{age: 20}
println(user2.can_register()) // "true"

// Struct fields are private and immutable by default (making structs immutable as well).
// Their access modifiers can be changed with pub and mut.
// In total, there are 5 possible options:
struct Foo {
	a int     // private immutable (default)
mut:
	b int     // private mutable
	c int     // (you can list multiple fields with the same access modifier) 
pub:
	d int     // public immmutable (readonly)
pub mut:
	e int     // public, but mutable only in parent module 
__global:
	f int 	  // public and mutable both inside and outside parent module 
}                 // (not recommended to use, that's why the 'global' keyword 
                  // starts with __)

module main

/* STRUCT EXAMPLE 1 */
struct Point {
	x int
	y int
}

fn example1() {
	p := Point{
		x: 10
		y: 20
	}
	println(p.x) // Struct fields are accessed using a dot
}

/* STRUCT EXAMPLE 2 */
fn example2() {
	// Structs are allocated on the stack. To allocate a struct on the heap and get a reference to it, use the & prefix:
	// Alternative initialization syntax for structs with 3 fields or fewer
	p := &Point{330, 10}
	// References have the same syntax for accessing fields 
	println(p.x)
	// The type of p is &Point. It's a reference to Point. References are similar to Go pointers and C++ references.

/* STRUCT EXAMPLE 4 */

// Structs can have default values:
struct Foo {
  a int
  b int = 10
}

fn example4() {
	foo := Foo{}
	assert foo.a == 0
	assert foo.b == 10
    println(foo)
