What token.Slot.as(Storage.Slot).storageObject mean?

Hello Flex Sim im trying to understand one of models teacher shown my class during lesson, and im having really hard time, cause i dont understand what token.Slot.as(Storage.Slot).storageObject means, or what value is it refering to. I didn't find much in manual it is explained what storageObject is or Storage.Slot, but understanding whole thing is complicated.

In the new warehousing model, FlexSim has a new object which is a Storage.Slot object. This simply refers to a slot in the storage system. This object has a property called a "storageObject", which simply refers to the rack to which the slot belongs. Here is the API reference:

Here is more documentation on the storage system:

And here is a great demo model built by one of our developers:

token.Slot

it is a label called Slot at a token in Process Flow. The value of this label is of a Type Variant.

as(Storaged.Slot)

is a direct casting of Variant value into Storage sub-class Slot

storageObject

is a property of this class to get the Rack of a slot.
