Attributes, Specifiers, and Effects

Specifiers

The following specifiers determine how you can interact with GetParent in your programs. For the complete list of specifiers, see the Specifiers Page.

Specifier Meaning
public The identifier is universally accessible. You can use this on modules, classes, interfaces, structs, enums, methods, and data.
native Indicates that the definition details of the element are implemented in C++. Verse definitions with the native specifier auto-generate C++ definitions that a developer can then fill out its implementation. You can use this specifier on classes, interfaces, enums, methods, and data.
final You can only use the final specifier on classes and members of classes. When a class has the final specifier, you cannot create a subclass of the class. When a field has the final specifier, you cannot override the field in a subclass. When a method has the final specifier, you cannot override the method in a subclass.
