CStats:new
The new method creates an instance of the CStats class. This method returns to the caller a reference to the object it creates. The calling code must assign this reference to a name (see below). If the object cannot be created, nil is returned.
Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

-- other uses of the class go here, between new and delete. |
