Topic: Print tag value

Matan Cohen (Feb 09 2024 at 17:44):

I am going over the roc tutorial and I came across tags.
I was trying to understand how to use it correctly.

for example writing this line:
dbg T "the value of count is:" counts.iguanas
will print:
T "the value of count is:" counts.iguanas = (T "the value of count is:" 1)

And I just want to see "the value of count is:1" and maybe the parameter name.

Can someone explain better the concept of tags?

thank you!

So Debug prints both the source location and the value contained.

Brendan Hansknecht (Feb 09 2024 at 17:58):

T "the value of count is:" counts.iguanas

This first part is the source code

Brendan Hansknecht (Feb 09 2024 at 17:58):

(T "the value of count is:" 1)

This second part is the actual data contained

In this case, you have a tag T that contains a string and a number.

Great now I got it basically everything after the tag will be resolved and shown in the second part.
thank you!
