Jump To Constructor Property

When the "Parameters" list is empty, LW Python jumps to the method.

if the following are true:

  • expression state at time t = "call_build_args"
  • Parameters List at time t = [ ]
  • the expression at time t = Python constructor with name: class_name and arguments: args
  • line number of method "__init__" of class class_name in (Class Map at time t) = line

then the line at time (t + 1) = line + 1

After LW Python has processed all method parameters, it updates the line number to the method definition's line number + 1. For example,

if the following are true:

  • expression state at time 25 = "call_build_args"
  • Parameters List at time 25 = [ ]
  • the expression at time 25 = Person("John", "Smith", 25)
  • line number of method "__init__" of class "Person" in (Class Map at time 25) = 2

then the line at time (25 + 1) = 2 + 1

Try stepping through the simulator to see LW Python jump inside the method.
