Re: [sv-bc] question on str.putc()

Hi Shalom,
I think the note str[j] = x is referring to
 task putc(int i, byte c)
and not to
task putc(int i, string s)
Although the rules of assignment are not explicitly specified in this section, it seems to me that a string cannot be assigned to a character of another string.
str[j] = x, when x is a string variable.

I apologize if this was already brought up.

3.7.2 putc() says that

str.putc(i,s) replaces the i'th character in str with the first character in s.

Then it says,

Note: str.putc(j,x) is semantically equivalent to str[j] = x.

My question, I would think that str[j] = x takes the LAST, not FIRST,
character if x is a string, as in the example

bit[1:4][7:0] h = "hello"; //assigns to h "ello"

Thanks,
Shalom
