[bardot, `|.`, %brdt](#brdt)
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Trap
|
|
|
|
`|.`, is a synthetic hoon that produces a [dry]() [`%gold`]() trap. A
|
|
trap is a [`door`]() with one only arm [`$`](), the empty name.
|
|
|
|
The default action performed on a trap is kicking it by pulling the arm
|
|
`$`. `|.` is similar to `|=` with no arguments. You can think of `|.` as
|
|
a function that takes no inputs.

/~zod/try=>
|
|
(a)
|
|
42
|
|
/~zod/try=>
|
|
$:a
|
|
42
|
|
|
|
This is a simple example. We assign a shell variable `a` to be a trap
|
|
that simply produces the atom `42`. Printing `a` prints the core and its
|
|
context. Calling `a` using `(`, the irregular form of [`%-`](), produces
|
|
its value. As does pulling the arm `$` from inside it using `$:a`.
|
|
|
|
/~zod/try=>
|
|
=a 10
|
|
changed %a
|
|
/~zod/try=>
|
|
=b |. (add a 2)
|
|
changed %b
|
|
/~zod/try=>
|
|
(b)
|
|
12
|
|
|
|
In this case we assign a variable `a` to be `10`, and create a trap `b`
|
|
to add `2` to it. This is a trivial example, but is meant to show that
|
|
traps are useful when you need a gate that only operates on values that
|
|
are already in its context.
|
|
|
|
/~zod/try=>
|
|
=loop =+ reps=10
|
|
=+ step=0
|
|
=+ outp=0
|
|
|.
|
|
?: =(step reps)
|
|
outp
|
|
$(outp (add outp 2), step +(step))
|
|
changed %loop
|
|
/~zod/try=> (loop)
|
|
20
|
|
|
|
Expanding on our previous example, we create a trap with three local
|
|
variables, `reps`, `step`, and `outp`. We use a trap to create a loop,
|
|
testing each time if `step` is equal to `reps`, if so producing `outp`
|
|
otherwise calling our trap again with `outp` replaced with `outp+2`, and
|
|
`step` incremented.
