Wards Wiki Pages / Word Signature
The WordSignature? is the complete information about the word of a LopLanguage? (e.g. ThelopLanguage?).
It contains:
* word (e.g. File)
* class (e.g. object)
* meaning (e.g. represents a file)
* parameters (e.g. 1)
* effects (e.g. none)
There may be
* examples
* comments
LOP says that a function signature (ThelopNameSignature?, NameSignature?) should be identical to the combined signatures of the words from which the function name is built. This is called consistency (LopConsistency?, ThelopConsistency?).
Sometimes I call it WalkYourTalk?. -- HelmutLeitner
This means that
* Any parameter of a function (or method) must have some kind of representation in the function name.
* There must be no activity of a function that can't be derived from the meaning of the constructing words (the meaning of its name).
