pure

The contextual keyword pure specifies the type of a user-defined function.

‘def pure funname (params) with’, simple mapping definition

The modifier pure indicates that the function is a simple mapping taking scalar arguments.

def pure diskSurface(r : number) with
  return 3.1416 * r * r

show scalar "" with diskSurface(2) // ~12.57

A pure function has no side-effect. Its arguments cannot be assigned.
