set-number - (numbers)
Contents
Description
Number variable <var> is either assigned value <number> with "=" clause, or it is assigned 0 if equal
clause ("=") is omitted.
If "process-scope" clause is used, then number is of process scope, meaning its value will persist from
one request to another for the life of the process.
Note that <number> can also be a string character produced by using "[" and "]" to specify the index
within a string (with 0 being the first character), as in:
set-string my_str = "Some string"
set-number my_num = my_str[2]
In the above example, "my_num" will be 109, which is the integer representation of character 'm'.
Examples
Initialize number "my_num" to 0 and the value of this variable, however it changes, will persist through
any number of requests in the same process:
set-number my_num process-scope
Initialize number "my_num" to 10:
set-number my_num = 10
Subtract 5:
set-number my_num = my_num-5
Assign an expression:
set-number my_num = (some_num*3+1)%5
