We can refer to a method

foo()

of class

Bar

Bar#foo()

. Is it appropriate to reference property

baz

of

Bar

as

Bar#baz

?

also, what is this notation called? I've only learned it from others using it.

I've seen that done in Java (especially in JavaDoc), but in Kotlin (from what I've seen) it's pretty much always

Bar.foo()

.

hmm @Ruckus imo that makes it look like

Bar

is an object

Out of context maybe, but frankly out of context both are rather meaningless.

You have the same ambiguity with just

foo()

. Is it a function call, or shorthand for

foo.invoke()

? There's no way to know out of context.
