I'm having some trouble fleshing out the surrounding context, but I'll take a stab at this:
>>I don't think "word" is the correct term to use. Do I mean "symbol"? "Token", perhaps? >>Do I mean "symbol" instead of "var"? Yes. It may not be a "var", after all. >> Is "list" better called a "form" or an "s-expression"? This one I'm having trouble with. "(whatever)" designates a function invocation. "'(whatever)" designates a list and is a shorthand for "(list whatever)". That's an important distinction, as "'(a-fun some-fun more-fun)" describes a list of functions while "(a-fun some-fun more-fun)" calls "a-fun" with "some-fun" and "more-fun" as parameters. It seems to me the fact that they look similar is practically coincidental. >> What exactly is a "scalar"? Is it anything that's not a container? In Pascal, a "scalar" referred specifically to enumerable integer types. In Clojure, I think it refers to all vars. But I haven't run into it. ===Blake=== -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
