    return sprintf('Hello %s!', $container->get('name'));
});
echo $this->container->get('mocha'); //Hello Mocha!

class Foo implements FooInterface
{
    private $name;
    private $age;

    public function __construct($name = null, $age = 0)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->age = $age;
    }

    public function setName($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setAge($age)
    {
        $this->age = $age;
    }

    public function getAge()
    {
        return $this->age;
    }
}

class Bar
{
    public $foo;

    public function __construct(FooInterface $foo)
    {
        $this->foo = $foo;
    }

    public function getFoo()
    {
        return $this->foo;
    }
}
```

```
$this->container->set(FooInterface::class, Foo::class);
$this->container->set('bar', Bar::class);
$bar = $this->container->get('bar');
var_dump($bar instanceof Bar); //true
var_dump($bar->getFoo() instanceof Foo); //true
```
