Field Access

You can access global fields by writing their name. This works from within top level methods as well as instance methods of classes.1

final String monster = "Dracula";

class Mash {
    void itWasThe() {
        IO.println(monster + " and his son");
    }
}

void main() {
    IO.println(monster + " was there");

    Mash mash = new Mash();
    mash.itWasThe();
}
