die()

Causes the current agent to terminate (die).

Synopsis

die()

Description

This function causes the current agent to die. The agent is immediately removed from the population, including all mixing groups and conditions, and no longer participates in the simulation.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Examples

An agent with ID id1 can be selected to die with the action rule:

if (id == id1) then die()

As a more interesting example, the following code shows how agents might behave in a Hospitalized state where 30% of agents do not recover (and die) and the remaining agents recover.

state Hospitalized {
    wait(2 * 24)
    next(NoRecovery) with prob(0.3)
    default(Recovered)
}

state NoRecovery {
    die()
            wait()
    next()
}

Notes

die() is synonomous with exit().
