what is the difference between the following 2 instance declarations: 1. x is instance 2. a : x is instance my common sense tells me it's something about the naming of the struct. in the first case the name is determined determined defaultly to be 'x', whereas in the second case it's 'a'. is it correct ? thanks,

    Yes your understanding is correct.

    Find the complet explaination below :

    Syntax for taking unit instance -
    field-name[: unit-type] is instance
    Parameters

    field-name : The name of the unit instance being defined.

    unit-type : The name of a unit type.
    If the field name is the same as an existing type, you can omit the ": unit-type" part of the field definition. Otherwise, the type specification is required.
