Method References- Don McLean
#===================================================================================================
# Example Script: Aztec Method References Script
# Demonstrates use of simple Aztec method references outside of event handling, since method refs
# used in event handling are shown in many other code examples on the website.
#===================================================================================================
type<method<int,string>> MethRefIntStringArgs
type<string method<float>> MethRefFloatArg
# Several methods used for demonstration purposes. They will be called via method references.

}

{
StdIO.Write("Inside Normal Method2 - float is " + Arg1.Str())
return(Arg1.Str())
