dotzey, %dtzy

Odored atom

dotzay is a natural hoon that produces a non-cubed atomic constant of odor p and value q. dotzay is never used explicitly, but always implicitly to give odors to atoms.

Produces

Twig: [%dtzy p=term q=@]

Examples

~zod/try=> (ream '12')
[%dtzy p=%ud q=12]
~zod/try=> (ream '&')
[%dtzy p=%f q=0]
~zod/try=> (ream '~.sam')
[%dtzy p=%ta q=7.168.371]

Here we use ++ream to unpack how values are parsed. Passing what what would appear to be constants reveals that they are in fact parsed into an odor [++term] and their numeric atom representation.
