Do Primitive

Format: @x

Arguments: (node) x Name of a primitive

Returns: [any] The value of x

Description: Every primitive can be superseded by creating a node with the same name. The operator @ can be used in formulas to explicitly specify that a primitive is to be evaluated rather than a user-defined node with the same name.

Examples: PI = 3.142

PI:=6 = superseds the primitive PI

PI = 6  (user-defined version of PI)

@PI = 3.142  (primitive version of  PI)
