That leaves me stuck at "type".
EDIT: #2 gives
"The AST type represents the syntax of the language, each of which is a representation of an individual program in the language."
But "each of which" what? There's no collection for it.
- evertedsphere 2y ago"… the language. each inhabitant of this type is …"
- chrisjj 2y agoOK, so: "The AST type represents the syntax of the language. Each inhabitant of this type is a representation of an individual program in the language." I agree. But my AST does not "represent the syntax of a programming language" stands. Thing != Thing's type.
- evertedsphere 2y agothe first sentence that you quote doesn't mention the term AST or "AST type" at all, the second sentence is clearly talking about terms (i.e. inhabitants of a type) this is meaningless nitpicking over a problem of your own invention
- chrisjj 2y ago> the first sentence that you quote doesn't mention the term ... > "AST type" at all. And nor does the second. "AST type" is soley your addition. > the second sentence is clearly talking about terms (i.e. inhabitants of a type) It is clearly about syntax, as introduced in the first sentence. And that is a feature of the language, not program. Type, not inhabitant of type.

- wizzwizz4 2y ago#1 is a grammatical translation, and loses meaning. If you continue to step #3 before attempting to extract meaning from the sentence, it answers your question. There's only one "type" in the reference pool ("the AST type") and, like a list, set, class or tree, it is a collection. Therefore, it is this to which "which" refers.
- chrisjj 2y agoAh. Now it clicks - like Rubin's vase. Thanks.
