DELABLEXPRNUM(3)

💅 delablexprnum(3) — the ABL FUNCTIONS girlies 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to delablexprnum from the ABL FUNCTIONS manual section — she's a 3 (library call), she's iconic, and she does exactly one (1) thing. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

delablexprnum — deletes an operand in an expression. that's it. that's the whole personality. slay 💅

---

🦋 ORIGIN 🦋

so this software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. France!! the fashion capital of deleting operands 💖

like, reach out, they literally want to hear from you 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "abl101.h"
void delablexprnum( Expr, Number )
  chain_list ∗Expr;
  int         Number;

that's the whole vibe. two params, no return, no drama. 🙂‍↕️

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• Expr — the expression where you're deleting an operand. your main character expression, if you will 👑
• second_param — the operand number. yes, the header literally writes it as second_param in the docs while the synopsis calls it Number — ik, ik, it's giving "the docs are also a little silly", but that's the canon and we respect canon 💀 (fr fr, remember that in the code it's Number.)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

delablexprnum deletes the operand Number + 1 in Expr.

not Number. Number + 1. so if you pass 2, you're yeeting operand 3. lowkey important, highkey the whole point. note it, screenshot it, tattoo it 🧚

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

delablexprnum returns nothing. that's right — void. she gives nothing and she's still booked and busy ✨

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

ok so here's how it actually goes down:

#include "abl101.h"
   chain_list ∗ExprA;
   chain_list ∗ExprB;
   chain_list ∗ExprC;
   chain_list ∗ExprAorBorC;
   ExprA = createablatom( "a" );
   ExprB = createablatom( "b" );
   ExprC = createablatom( "c" );
   ExprAorBorC = createablbinexpr( ABL_OR, ExprA, ExprB );
   ExprAorBorC = createablbinexpr( ABL_OR, ExprAorBorC, ExprC );
   ...
   delablexprnum( ExprAorBorC, 2 );
   /* displays (a or b) */
   viewablexpr( ExprAorBorC, ABL_VIEW_VHDL );

so we build a, b, c, OR them all up into one big ExprAorBorC vibe, then delablexprnum( ExprAorBorC, 2 ) comes through and it displays (a or b). the c got deleted 💀 not me feeling a little bad for c. anyway, then viewablexpr( ExprAorBorC, ABL_VIEW_VHDL ) shows it off. periodt 🔥
