Other programming languages use terminology like slots, fields, data members, ...
The keyword 'instanceVariableNames:' is used because the string that follows contains the names of the variables, not the variables themselves.
To experience that go into settings (under the âPharoâ menu item) search for âslotsâ. You will get this If you open a new system browser it looks like this Collection << #SmallDictionary slots: { #keys . #values . #size }; tag: 'Dictionaries'; package: 'Collections-Unorderedâ which resembles the slots representation better. Hope this helps and not raise confusion even more. Norbert
