zaw

zaw — Writes to a za variable at a-rate without mixing.

Description

Writes to a za variable at a-rate without mixing.

Syntax

zaw asig, kndx

Performance

asig -- value to be written to the za location.

kndx -- points to the zk or za location to which to write.

zaw writes asig into the za variable specified by kndx.

These opcodes are fast, and always check that the index is within the range of zk or za space. If not, an error is reported, 0 is returned, and no writing takes place.

Examples

Here is an example of the zaw opcode. It uses the file zaw.csd.

Example 536. Example of the zaw opcode.
