public class NumAssembler

extends Assembler

Pops a number token, and pushes a number function.

A design principle for this package is that "everything" is a two-dimensional function of time. Thus if the stack contains, say, a token that is just the number 3, this assembler will push a new Cartesian function (t, 3). This allows, for example, a Sling statement like plot 3; to be meaningful. In this case, the Sling design principles will use 3 as the y component of a function, and will use time as the x component. The plot will be of a line segment from (0, 3) to (1, 3), since time varies from 0 to 1 during the course of a plot.
