You bet! Until now, we have been dealing with expressions returning a nullary function. Arguments, on the other hand, evaluate to an N-ary function. An argument represents the Nth argument. There are a few predefined arguments arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4 and so on (and it's __bll__ counterparts: _1, _2, _3, _4 and so on). Examples: arg1 // one-or-more argument function that returns its first argument arg2 // two-or-more argument function that returns its second argument arg3 // three-or-more argument function that returns its third argument `argN` returns the Nth argument. Examples: int i = 3; char const* s = "Hello World"; std::cout << arg1(i) << std::endl; // prints 3 std::cout << arg2(i, s) << std::endl; // prints "Hello World" (See [@../../example/arguments.cpp arguments.cpp]) [blurb __tip__ Learn more about arguments [link phoenix.modules.core.arguments here.]] [endsect]
