Hands-On Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia

Defining the Vehicle interface

We shall first create a module called Vehicle. The purpose of this module is to implement our space-travel logic. As we want to keep this module generic, we will design an interface that any object can implement in order to participate in our space-travel program.

The structure of the module consists of four sections, as indicated by the following embedded comments:

module Vehicle# 1. Export/Imports# 2. Interface documentation# 3. Generic definitions for the interface# 4. Game logic end # module

Let's see how the code is actually written in the module:

1. The first section exports a single function called go!:

# 1. Export/Importsexport go!

2. The second code segment is merely documentation:

# 2. Interface documentation ...
