Examples
The following examples show how to invoke a method using the Perform
action. You should notice the following facts about these examples:
- In Example 1, the Perform action calls the update() method on
the variable $importedVar$. Notice that:
- The entire method call is enclosed in dollar signs ($).
- In the context of a method call, the variable name itself (
importedVar
) is not enclosed in dollar signs ($). - A variable passed as a parameter to a method must be enclosed
in dollar signs ($) as usual (
$str$
). - A string passed as a parameter to a method must be enclosed in
single quotes as usual (
'Application'
).
- In Example 2, the Perform action calls a static method.
- In Example 3, the Perform action calls the close() method belonging to the class to which the variable belongs, such as java.io.FileInputStream.
- In Example 4, the Perform action calls the createZipEntry() method belonging to the class to which the variable belongs, such as java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.
- In Example 5, the Perform action calls the clear() method belonging to the class to which the variable belongs, such as java.util.Hashtable.
