💖 GOLF(2gg) — the set-number era 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the GOLF(2gg) manual, section 2gg, filed under Development, and it's literally all about set-number. grab a boba, we're doing numbers. 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

set-number — (numbers) 🎀

🌸 PURPOSE 🌸

Set value of a number variable. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

set-number <var> [ = <number> ]  [ process-scope ]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so, the number variable <var> — here's the tea 🍓:

• if you use the "=" clause, <var> gets assigned the value <number>.
• if you omit the "=" clause, it just gets assigned 0. no drama, just zero.

if you throw in the "process-scope" clause, then the number is of process scope, meaning its value will persist from one request to another for the life of the process. it's giving immortality, but make it numbers. 🔥

ngl, plot twist: <number> can also be a string character, produced by using [ and ] to specify the index within a string (with 0 being the first character). like this, bestie:

set-string my_str = "Some string"
set-number my_num = my_str[2]

in the example above, "my_num" will be 109, which is the integer representation of character 'm'. no cap, that's just how it is. 😭💖

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Initialize number "my_num" to 0 and the value of this variable, however it changes, will persist through any number of requests in the same process:

set-number my_num process-scope

Initialize number "my_num" to 10:

set-number my_num = 10

Subtract 5:

set-number my_num = my_num-5

Assign an expression:

set-number my_num = (some_num*3+1)%5

like, the range?? iconic. ⭐
