## ziw

ziw — Writes to a zk variable at i-rate without mixing.

## Description

Writes to a zk variable at i-rate without mixing.

## Syntax

    ziw isig, indx

## Initialization

isig -- initializes the value of the zk location.

indx -- points to the zk location to which to write.

## Performance

ziw writes isig into the zk variable specified by indx.

These opcodes are fast, and always check that the index is within the range of zk or za space. If not, an error is reported, 0 is returned, and no writing takes place.

## Examples

Here is an example of the ziw opcode. It uses the file ziw.csd.
