The arguments are an - object, a string and an arbitrary value. The string must be the name - of one of the object's attributes. The function assigns the value to - the attribute, provided the object allows it. For example, + object, a string and an arbitrary value. The string may name an + existing attribute or a new attribute. The function assigns the + value to the attribute, provided the object allows it.
