setq   Description Syntax Examples Argument Types How do I contact the AIS team?

The setq function alters the bindings of a Dictionary. There are two syntax forms for changing a Dictionary binding. The first syntax form requires a key argument {key} and a value argument {newValue} and results in replacing the value at the specified key with {newValue}. The second syntax form requires a single index. The index {index1} selects the index1-th binding pair and results in replacing the value at the specified index1-th position. The third syntax form requires two indices. The first index specifies the index1-th binding in the Dictionary and the second index {index2} specifies which part of the binding pair will be altered. If {index2} is equal to 0 the key will be replaced, if {index2} is equal to 1, then the value will be replaced.

Strong Typed: (setDicValue aDic index newValue)

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.

This example shows the setq function changing the value of the Age: key of the Dictionary using the (setq dict key newValue ) function syntax.

This example shows the setq function changing the value of the Age: key using one index value. This example uses the (setq dict index1 newValue) function syntax.

This example shows the setq function adding a new key-value binding using the (setq dict last: key newValue) function syntax.

Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments.

Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
