Throughout the whole SomeRandomCat documentation or in the support server, you may see notation very often. To help you understand those, we will be going over a few common types of them.

Classes

Some common notations are used to refer to a class or the properties, methods, or events of a class. There are many variations on these notations, and they are very flexible depending on the person, so use your best judgement when reading them. For example, if you are given a text <Random>, it means an instance of the class Random. It is telling you to replace it with your own instance that you have made, but in our case, it is STATIC which means there is no hustle and bustle of instantiating it.

The notation Class#foo refers to a property called foo in the class Class. However in the case of STATIC properties you write it as Class.foo

To write an event, you can write it as <Class>#<property>:<event>
