<h4>Description</h4>

<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>::Predicate
|
|
|
|
::(Predicate1, Predicate2, ...)
|
|
|
|
::(Predicate1; Predicate2; ...)</pre>
|

<p>
|
|
Send a message to <a class="glossary" title="Go to glossary definition" href="../../glossary.html#self">self</a>. Only used in the body of a predicate definition. The argument should match a public or protected predicate of <a class="glossary" title="Go to glossary definition" href="../../glossary.html#self">self</a>. It may also match a private predicate if the predicate is imported from a category, if used from inside a category, or when using private inheritance. We can also send a set of messages to self. The "<code>,</code>" and "<code>;</code>" in the list have the usual Prolog meaning.
