You base that on zero evidence, only your own assumptions.
I, on the other hand, assume the OP meant precisely what he wrote.
..on zero evidence.
Huh? He wrote it. That's not "zero" evidence.
That ${someone} wrote ${something} is not "evidence" for
that ${someone} actually meant ${something}.
Of course it is.
What other evidence do you have forwhat they mean?
It's generally a strong indication, so your assumption wasn't
generally weak, but still it's no evidence.
"Indication" is a synonym for "evidence", so you just disproved your
own thesis.
Otoh, the stranger ${something} is (e.g. using String1 without
further explanation of it), the weaker is even the indication.
It's the only evidence you have.
How can you say that what someone says is not evidence of what they
mean? That's crazy talk!
If you're not going to be intellectually honest, I'm not going to
play.
You are being ridiculous. The OP has not returned to the thread (scared
off by you?) we have no way to tell exactly what he meant with:
"I have a function that returns a list like this:-
List <Column <String1, String2>>
Next I want to pass this list to a 2nd function, but 2nd function just
needs a list which contains only 1st part (string1) of the Column(s) of
the above list.
So I want pass just this list to 2nd function:-
List <String1>
What would be the best way to do this ??
[my use case: Both the functions are from a library that I use to access
database(Cassandra) for a web application. 1st function gives me a list
of all columns which has two parts name(String1) and value(String2). So
1st function gives me a list of all columns(each of which has two
strings) then I just need to use the list of column names to supply it
to 2nd function that'll query the DB for those columns.]"
There is no evidence that his problem definition was meant to be
rigorous. The most likely interpretation is that String1 and String2
stand for the first and second String. Note the reference to "string1".
His problem formulation may be deficient, but you are being anal.
It's much less likely that he actually refers to two new types, String1
and String2.
