renamechild

Purpose

Rename the child concept of a concept parentConcept with new name newNameStr.  Find child by number childNumber

Syntax

None = renamechild(parentConcept, childNumber, newNameStr)

parentConcept - type: con
childNumber - type: int
newNameStr - type: str

Remarks

Does not change attributes or values of existing child concept, just the name. If indexed out of bounds of the parent concept, throws an error message in the output log.

Example

if(findconcept(findroot(),"apples"))
rmconcept(findconcept(findroot(),"apples"));
G("apples") = makeconcept(findroot(),"apples");
addstrval(G("apples"),"have","seeds");
renameconcept(G("apples"),"fruit");
"output.txt" << conceptname(G("apples")) << "\n";
renameattr(G("apples"),"have","are");
"output.txt" << attrname(findattr(G("apples"),"are")) << "\n";
"output.txt" << strval(G("apples"),"are") << "\n";
G("aChild") = makeconcept(G("apples"),"child");
renamechild(G("apples"),1,"descendent");
# rmconcept(G("apples"));

This code prints out:

fruit
are
seeds
