id: kw-internal name: internal category: structure kind: keyword tokens: internal sig: namespace Name { internal function helper() { } } tip: Inside a namespace: a function kept out of the Name.* surface. order: 55

In a namespace block every function is part of the Name.* surface unless it says internal: then it is emitted as an ordinary helper the namespace's own methods can call, and Name.helper is not a method.

namespace Trail {
  internal function step(n: int) -> int { return n + 1 }
  function next(n: int) -> int { return step(n) }
