I THINK you are confirming my suspicion. Clearly, the first object
(which corresponds to the first table row) is pos[0]. From that I would
deduce that pos[0].name is a getter method within the pos[0] object
for accessing the name instance variable which apparently contains the
value for the name column in the first object (which corresponds to the
first row).
>From my point of view, the omission in the book is that the order object
contains an instance variable for each column and that instance variable
has the same name as the corresponding column. Additionally, the order
object has accessor methods (or, at least a getter method; but, I
suspect that there is also a setter method) for each of these instance
variables.
Anyway, I think that my suspicions are confirmed. Thanks for the input.
