====== @ (address of) ======

//Since version 1.1//

Used within an expression, the ''@'' operator returns the memory address of the variable or label that it is prepended to, as an integer.

Example:

  rem define a new variable
  let x=1
  	
  rem retrieve information about the variable
  print "the value of x is ", x
  print "the address of x is ", @x

A more typical usage of the ''@'' operator is to resolve the address of a label. Please refer to [[examples#example_3usr_function|this example]] for demonstration.

===== Resolving addresses of array members =====

Since version 2.1 it is possible to get the address of an array member using the following syntax:

  dim x[5]
  print "address of the 2nd array member: ", @x[1]

===== Resolving the address of a procedure or function =====

Since version 2.2.04 it is possible to get the address of a procedure or function:

  proc myproc
    ...
  endproc
  
  print "entry point of myproc is: ", @myproc
