(Recall that the function SWAP is available by using „°@)STACK @SWAP@). Store the program back into FUNCa by using „ @FUNCa. Next, run the program by pressing @FUNCa . Enter a value of 2 when prompted, and press `. The result is now two tagged numbers a:2. in stack level 2, and F:11. in stack level 1. Note: Because we use an input string to get the input data value, the local variable a actually stores a tagged value ( :a:2, in the example above). Therefore, we do not need to tag it in the output. All what we need to do is place an a before the SWAP function in the subprogram above, and the tagged input is placed in the stack. It should be pointed out that, in performing the calculation of the function, the tag of the tagged input a is dropped automatically, and only its numerical value is used in the calculation. To see the operation of the function FUNCa, step by step, you could use the DBUG function as follows: ³ @FUNCa ` „°LL @)@RUN@ @@DBG@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ 2` @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ @SST↓@ Copies program name to stack level 1 Starts debugger Step-by-step debugging, result: "Enter a:" Result: {" a:" {2 0} V} Result: user is prompted to enter value of a Enter a value of 2 for a.
