assignValue

Function

assignValue

Assigns value to item.

assignValue(object, value)

assignValue(container, pos, value)

Parameters

object	An object that holds a value or points to a value. Types: Iterator: BottomUp Iterator, Iter, ModifiedIterator, TopDownHistory Iterator Holder
value	A value that is assigned to the item object holds or points to.
container	A container. Types: Container: ModifiedString, String
pos	Position of the item in container to that value is assigned.

Remarks

If object is a container (that is pos is not specified), the whole content of object is replaced by value.

This function is similar to assign. The difference is, that assignValue just changes a value stored in object or the value object points to, while assign changes the whole object.

If value is not used again after calling this function, then consider to use moveValue that could be faster in some cases instead.
