Set Operator
Sets the value of an attribute on a record
Syntax
// Set attribute to value
record.attribute := value
// Remove attribute
record.attribute := none
Description
record.attribute := value sets attribute to value. If record already has an attribute with a value, then this will overwrite it. Otherwise, if record doesn’t have an attribute with this name already, then := will create the attribute and set it to value.
attribute can be an attribute already on the record, or it can be a new attribute.
value can be a string or number literal, a record, or a variable bound to one of these.
record.attribute := none sets the value of attribute to the special value none, which is the empty set (a set with no elements).
Examples
Set the age of #students that don’t already have an age.
search
student = [#student]
age = if student.age then student.age
else if student.grade then student.grade + 6
bind
student.age := age
