The Science of Programming/SwayPresentations/Objects/PublicAndPrivateComponents

 Public and Private Components 

Every component in a Sway Object is public:


 * A belief that programming is not a adversarial exercise


 * Simplifies the language (syntactically speaking)

However, it is possible, with a little bit of work, to make a component private. One method in Sway uses simple scoping rules (see the Class and Object Components page.

The other uses operator overloading.
