The following example includes the main program section and a definition of class Base. We define four variables in the main section: o, i, d, and b. The variable o is of type Object, i is of type int, d is of type double, and the variable b is of type Base. The class Base has one property (i), and it redefines the method ToString(). Instead of just converting the value of the variable to a string, the Base ToString() prints a message:

    print("i is " +  i);

  // compile with: jsc tostring.js
 
  var o : Object = new Object();
  var i : int    = 9;
  var d : double = 5.8;
  var b : Base = new Base();
  print("i: " + i.ToString());
  print("o: " + o.ToString());
  print("d: " + d.ToString());
  print("b: " + b.ToString());
 
  class Base {
    protected var i : int = 5;
    public function ToString() : String {
      print("i is " +  i);
	  return("foo");
   }
  }
