NAME
|
|
param - value of argument in a user-function call
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
param([n])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
n nonnegative integer
|
|
|
|
return any
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function param(n) can be used only within the body of the
|
|
definition of a function.
|
|
|
|
If that function is f()
|
|
|
|
[[ which may have been defined with named arguments as in f(x,y,z))
|
|
|
|
and either the number of arguments or the value of an argument
|
|
in an anticipated call to f() is to be used, the number of
|
|
arguments in that call will then be returned by:
|
|
|
|
param(0)
|
|
|
|
and the value of the n-th argument by:
|
|
|
|
param(n)
|
|
|
|
Note that unlike the argv() builtin, param(1) is the 1st parameter
|
|
and param(param(0) is the last.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
> define f() {
|
|
>> local n, v = 0;
|
|
>> for (n = 1; n <= param(0); n++)
|
|
>> v += param(n)^2;
|
|
>> return v;
|
|
>> }
|
|
|
|
> print f(), f(1), f(1,2), f(1,2,3)
