Syntax
- (incf symbol)
- symbol - a symbol with numerical value bound to it
returns - the new value of the symbol
In Nyquist, 'incf' is implemented as a Lisp macro:
(defmacro incf (symbol)
`(setf ,symbol (1+ ,symbol)))
Description
The 'incf' macro is used for incrementing a numerical value of a variable.
1 is added to the number and the result is stored in the
variable. An error is signalled if the variable doesn't hold a
number.
Examples
(setq n 1) => 1
(incf n) => 2
n => 2
(incf n) => 3
(setq n -1.8) => -1.8
(incf n) => -0.8
(incf n) => 0.2
(incf n) => 1.2
n => 1.2
(setq n #\a) => #\a
(incf a) => error: bad argument type - #\a
