| |
| <p><a name="index-symbol-attributes-227"></a><a name="index-attributes_002c-symbol-228"></a>Every symbol has, as well as its name, the attributes “Value” and |
| “Type”. Depending on output format, symbols can also have auxiliary |
| attributes. |
| |
| <p>If you use a symbol without defining it, <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> assumes zero for |
| all these attributes, and probably won't warn you. This makes the |
| symbol an externally defined symbol, which is generally what you |
| would want. |
