====== SetTableElement ======
SetTableElement(<-table <-key <-value)

===== Description =====
Sets an element in a table. Note that keys are case sensitive strings.

For doing the same thing but with arguments in order of **value**, **table**, **key**, see [[4rpl:commands:settableelementrpn|SetTableElementRPN]].

A special syntax can also be used to set a table element. See the example below.

===== Examples =====

<code 4rpl>
CreateTable ->table
SetTableElement(<-table "SomeKey" 42)
GetTableElement(<-table "SomeKey") Trace  # prints "42"

# alternate syntax
# Use curly braces around to surround the key.
42 ->table{"SomeKey"}
