out ScriptCode script);

script

DISCUSSION
Each Cyberdog item has a set of strings that describe its properties. This method should return one of those strings, depending on the value of the property parameter. The default name property is the most important of these; it is the name of the Cyberdog item that is displayed to the user.
If you subclass CyberItem, you must override this method. Your override must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
