Methods

Methods are functions declared inside a struct or class body.

Declaring a Method

struct StoryLane {
    let width: Float
    let height: Float

    function area() -> Float {
        return width * height
    }
}

The checked-in geometry examples show the same style repeatedly:

• methods live inside the struct or class body
• they use normal function syntax
• they can refer to stored members directly by name

Returning Values

Methods participate in the same return-type rules as top-level functions:

• explicit return types are allowed
• inference is possible when unambiguous
• mismatched inferred returns require an explicit type

Current Limits

This repository does not yet document a wider method model with topics such as:

• method overloading rules
• mutating/nonmutating markers
• self-specific syntax
• deinitializers

What it does prove today is simpler and still useful: methods are part of the implemented frontend surface for both Kira struct and class declarations.
