Operation

record r  :=  name field

Syntax

<record> r . <name> field := <any> a

Description

The record assignment assigns 'a' to the record component with the name 'field', which must be an identifier, of the record 'r'. That means that accessing the element with name 'field' of the record 'r' will return the value of 'a' after this assignment. If the record 'r' has no component with the name 'field', the record is automatically extended to make room for the new component.

Examples

r := rec( a := 1, b := 2 ); r.a := 10; r; r.c := 3; r;
