NAME

       set-number -  (numbers)

PURPOSE

       Set value of a number variable.

SYNTAX

           set-number <var> [ = <number> ]  [ process-scope ]

DESCRIPTION

       Number  variable  <var>  is  either assigned value <number> with "=" clause, or it is assigned 0 if equal
       clause ("=") is omitted.

       If "process-scope" clause is used, then number is of process scope, meaning its value will  persist  from
       one request to another for the life of the process.

       Note  that  <number>  can  also  be a string character produced by using "[" and "]" to specify the index
       within a string (with 0 being the first character), as in:

           set-string my_str = "Some string"
           set-number my_num = my_str[2]

       In the above example, "my_num" will be 109, which is the integer representation of character 'm'.

EXAMPLES

       Initialize number "my_num" to 0 and the value of this variable, however it changes, will persist  through
       any number of requests in the same process:

           set-number my_num process-scope

       Initialize number "my_num" to 10:

           set-number my_num = 10

       Subtract 5:

           set-number my_num = my_num-5

       Assign an expression:

           set-number my_num = (some_num*3+1)%5
