[execute]

execute is a core slot, one of the keywords of the Hyperlambda language, in Hyperlambda, the language of Magic Cloud. Invokes a dynamic slot after unwrapping descendant expressions.

• Value (dynamic-slot-name), required: Name of the dynamic slot to invoke
• Returns: Resolves to the invoked slot’s value result and any returned child nodes

Arguments

Required arguments come first, then the optional ones in the order they are declared.
