FUNCTION::LONG_ARG(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to function::long_arg — she's a lil tapset function whose whole job is literally just returning a function argument as a signed long. that's it. that's the gig. and she eats every single time 💅

she lives in the 3stap manual, section 3, tapset girlies only, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long_arg:long(n:long)

look at her. one arg in, one signed long out. iconic behavior fr fr 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• n — the index of the argument you want back. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you tell her which argument, she hands it over 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she actually does: she returns the value of argument n as a signed long.

and here's the tea 🍓 — on architectures where a long is only 32 bits, the value gets sign-extended to 64 bits. so no matter how smol the native long is on your machine, you're getting the full 64-bit signed situation back. she's not gonna leave you hanging with a half-eaten number, bestie. main character energy only 👑
