Class

Used to define a class. Classes are templates from which objects are created -- classes are object types, as opposed to value types. Objects are held by reference and are reference-counted. The memory an object occupies is freed when there are no more references to it -- when no variables in the process refer to them.

Syntax:

[ attributes ]
Class name
    [ classmember ]
    [ classmember ] ...
End Class
