# Native demonstration

Here we use delegation to handle all the normal hash methods that we don't need to override to define our new class.

```perl
class FixedHash {
        has $.hash handles *;
        method new(*@args) { self.bless: hash => Hash.new: @args }
        method AT-KEY(FixedHash:D: $key is copy) is rw {
                $!hash.EXISTS-KEY($key) ?? $!hash.AT-KEY($key) !! Failure.new(q{can't store value for unknown key});
        }
        method DELETE-KEY($key) { $!hash.{$key} = Nil }
}

# Testing
my $fh = FixedHash.new: "a" => 1, "b" => 2;
say $fh<a b>;   # 1 2
$fh<b>:delete;
say $fh<a b>;   # 1 Nil
$fh<b> = 42;
say $fh<a b>;   # 1 42
say $fh<c>;     # Nil
$fh<c> = 43;    # error
```

#### Output:

```
(1 2)
(1 (Any))
(1 42)
can't store value for unknown key
  in block <unit> at native-demonstration.p6:17

Actually thrown at:
  in block <unit> at native-demonstration.p6:17
```

By defining [FALLBACK](http://design.raku.org/S12.html#FALLBACK_methods) any class can handle undefined method calls. Since any class inherits plenty of methods from `Any` our magic object will be more of a novice conjurer then a master wizard proper.

```perl
class Magic {
        has %.hash;
        multi method FALLBACK($name, |c) is rw { # this will eat any extra parameters
                %.hash{$name}
        }

        multi method FALLBACK($name) is rw {
                %.hash{$name}
        }
}

my $magic = Magic.new;
$magic.foo = 10;
say $magic.foo;
$magic.defined = False; # error
```

#### Output:

```
10
Cannot modify an immutable Bool
  in block <unit> at native-demonstration.p6:15
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trizen.gitbook.io/perl6-rosettacode/programming_tasks/c/create-an-object/native_demonstration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
