dictnext

Purpose

Fetch the word after the given word in the KB dictionary hierarchy.

Syntax

wordConcept = dictnext(currwordConcept)

wordConcept - type: con

currwordConcept - type: con

Returns

The next word-concept in lexicographic traversal of the KB dictionary hierarchy.

Remarks

The dictionary is a specialized part of the KB hierarchy used to store and lookup words. dictfirst and dictnext provide a convenient way to traverse the dictionary without worrying about the details of its implementation. (I.e., the presence of layers of dictionary indexing concepts.)

Example

@CODE

L("con") = dictfirst();

while (L("con"))

{

"output.txt" << conceptname(L("con") << "\n";

L("con") = dictnext(L("con"));

}
