How it works

The assign operation lets you transfer data into output(s) without affecting it. This is commonly used for retrieving a value from, or saving to a store/object.

Assign is the default operation for an instruction and can therefore be omitted altogether (see the second example).

Assign Examples

This example simply returns the input directly without affecting the data.

<instruction operation="assign">
	<output space="immediate" />
	<input value="hello world" />
</instruction>
hello world

This example stores the value "pigeon" into the store called "myVar":

<instruction> <!-- "assign" is default so omitted here -->
	<output space="store" value="myVar"/>
	<input value="pigeon" />
</instruction>
the store "myVar" contains "pigeon"

This example retrieves the value from a store:

<instruction operation="assign">
	<output space="immediate" />
	<input space="store" value="myVar" />
</instruction>
pigeon
