List Begin Arguments Property

At the beginning of list evaluation, LW Python pushes the list elements into the "Arguments" stack. The purpose of this is to evaluate the elements one by one before evaluating the "parent" list container. This is analogous to function calls that push their arguments into the "Arguments" stack.

For example,

if the following are true:

• expression state at time 1 = "begin_expr"
• the expression at time 1 = [2, 4, 6]
• arguments stack at time 1 = [ ]

then arguments stack at time (1 + 1) = [ [ 2, [ 4, [ 6, [ ] ] ] ], arguments stack at time 1 ]

Try stepping through the simulator to see the list elements get pushed to the "Arguments Stack."
