1.4.4.20.2 Naming Conventions for Rest Parameters</H2> <P>
|
|
Within this specification, if the name of a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_r.htm#rest_parameter"><I>rest parameter</I></A> is chosen to be a plural noun, use of that name in <I>parameter</I> font refers to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_l.htm#list"><I>list</I></A> to which the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_r.htm#rest_parameter"><I>rest parameter</I></A> is bound. Use of the singular form of that name in <I>parameter</I> font refers to an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#element"><I>element</I></A> of that <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_l.htm#list"><I>list</I></A>. <P>
|
|
For example, given a syntax description such as: <P>
|
|
|
|
<B>F</B> <I><TT>&rest</TT> <I>arguments</I></I><P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
it is appropriate to refer either to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_r.htm#rest_parameter"><I>rest parameter</I></A> named <I>arguments</I> by name, or to one of its elements by speaking of ``an <I>argument</I>,'' ``some <I>argument</I>,'' ``each <I>argument</I>'' <I>etc</I>. <P>
