GETABLEXPRNUM(3)

💅 GETABLEXPRNUM(3) — like, the ABL FUNCTIONS manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this whole page lives in the GETABLEXPRNUM(3) section of the ABL FUNCTIONS manual, and honestly? it's a whole little vibe. let's get into it 🌸

🦋 NAME 🦋

getablexprnum — she gives you a specified operand of an expression. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 💖

---

🌈 ORIGIN 🌈

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. iconic academic institution behavior, we love to see it 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like, she takes two things and hands you back a chain pointer. periodt 🎀

---

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

• Expr — the Expression. your main character. the thing you're poking at 🫶
• Number — the Operand number. which one you want. gotta pick one, bestie 🔥

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

getablexprnum gives the operand Number of Expr.

that's literally it — you point at an expression, you say "gimme operand number N", and she delivers. no drama, no extra steps, just vibes and a pointer 💅✨

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

getablexprnum returns the operand Number of Expr.

yes, same energy as the description, she's consistent, we stan a queen who knows what she's about 👑💖

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

#include "abl101.h"
  chain_list ∗Expr;
  Expr = createablbinexpr( ABL_AND,
                           createablatom( "a" ),
                           createablatom( "b" ) );
  /* displays    b */
  viewablexpr( getablexprnum( Expr, 1 ), ABL_VIEW_VHDL );

so we build a little ABL_AND binary expression out of atoms "a" and "b", then grab operand 1 (that's the b, iykyk) and view it as ABL_VIEW_VHDL. the comment says it displays b and honestly the comment ate 🔥 no notes.
