Syntax
MEMO:: word ( vars... -- outputs... ) body... ;


Word description
Defines a memoized word with named inputs. The word binds its input values to lexical variables from left to right, then executes the body with those bindings in scope.

If any var name is followed by an exclamation point (!), the corresponding new variable is made mutable. See Mutable lexical variables for more information.

Examples
See Examples of lexical variables.
