latitude¶

Syntax¶

latitude()

latitude(place_name)

Parameters¶

place_name: The name of a place that the agent can visit.

Returns¶

With no argument, this returns the latitude of the agent itself.

If place_name is given, then the latitude of the agent's site for this place is returned.

Description¶

This action returns the latitude of the agent itself if no argument is given. Otherwise it returns the latitude of the agent's site for the given place name. For example, latitude(Workplace) returns the latitude of the agent's specific Workplace site.

If no parameter was provided, this action returns the latitude of the agent itself.

Important

An agent's coordinates are not updated unless the agent has been explicitly moved using a move-related action.

If a place parameter is provided, it is an error if the agent is not a member of that place.

Examples¶

This statement returns the latitude of the agent's school
