Sentient.exposed

The ‘exposed’ function returns information about exposed variables:

var variables = Sentient.exposed(program);

Objects are keyed by variable name:

{
  "a": {
    "type": "integer",
    "minimum": -128,
    "maximum": 127
  }
}

This is useful to find out which variables are exposed so that they may be assigned. It is also useful to see what range of inputs they can take. If a range needs to be extended, the only way to do so is by recompiling the source program.

Programs must be compiled before ‘exposed’ can be used.
