The result is a string or a value, depending on the contents and on e3: if e3 is not specified or e3=0 then the result is a value if the contents can be converted to a value, otherwise the result is a string. If e3=1, the result is always a value. If the contents cannot be converted to a value is 0. If e3=2, the result is always a string. If you use long names and many labels you lose speed.
3.4 We conclude with a few other important commands:
age
Syntax: age(e1)
Returns the age of atom e1. The age is the difference between current time and creation time. When a run is reset, the creation time of all atoms become 0.
See also maxage, minage, avgage
content
Syntax: content (e1)
Returns the contents (the number of atoms contained at the highest level ) of atom e1.
See also maxcontent, avgcontent
avgstay
Syntax: avgstay (e1)
Returns the avgstay staying time of atom in atom e1 over the total runtime.
input
Syntax: input(e1)
Returns the input of atom e1. Theinput is defined as the number of atom that have entered atom e1 until now. The opposite is the output of the atom. See also output.
