Command: Set

Name:
Set - Define an association between a name and an object in the current dictionary
Synopsis:
obj literal Set -> - [... [obj_1 ...] ... obj_n] [... [literal_1 ...] ... literal_n] Set -> -
Description:
In the first form Set is identical to def, except for the reversed parameters and creates or modifies an entry for the literal in the current dictionary. The new value assigned to the literal is obj. In the second form multiple simultaneous assignments are made to the literals contained in the second. The nesting of this array is arbitrary, indicated in the synopsis by the inner brackets, and the same object are taken from the identical positions in first array.
Examples:
{1 2 add} /myproc Set [4 3] [/x /y] Set [[4 3 7] [-9 1]] [[/a /b /c] [/x /y]] Set [[4 9] 3] [/x /y] Set [[4 9] 3] [[/a /b] /y] Set
SeeAlso: def undef begin end
