Hi Shazni,
Yes, you can, those are called structs, you can find a sample in [1]. For
the second question what you have to do is as follows
struct Person {
string firstname;
string lastname;
}
function <Person p1> getFirstName() (string) {
return p1.firstname;
}
so the invocation would be as follows
function main(string[] args) {
Person person = { firstName:"abc", lasstName:"cde"};
string firstName = person.getFirstName();
}
What we are doing here is we are binding the function to the given struct
type inside the angle brackets, so that the function needs to be invoked on
top of that struct type object. So inside the function, you can use that
object as well.
Hope this helps.
