Getting Started

This is an example of the Anchor code to print Hello, World!:

print("Hello, World!");

This is an example of the Anchor code to define a class:

class[public] MyClass
begin
    property[public, get, set] x: Integer;

    method[public, factory] MyClass() -> MyClass
    begin
        this.x = 0;
        this.printSomething();
        return this;
    end

    method[public, factory] MyClass(x: Integer) -> MyClass
    begin
        this.x = x;
        return this;
    end

    method[private] printSomething() -> Null
    begin
        print("this is a private method");
    end
end

This is an example of the legacy function definition to return a string:

function myFunc() -> String
begin
    return "a legacy function";
end
