% start by loading the example:

| ?- logtalk_load(classmethods(loader)). ...

% use the "class method" area/2 to calculate the are of a circle given its radius:

| ?- circle::area(1.0, Area). Area = 3.14159 yes

% ask our static instance, c42, its area:

| ?- c42::area(Area). Area = 24.6301 yes

% create a dynamic instance of class circle using the "class method" new/4:

| ?- circle::new(1.2, 7.9, 2.0, Circle). Circle = o1 yes

% ask the circle o1 its area:

| ?- o1::area(Area). Area = 4.52389 yes
