Code Your Own Forth - Immediate Keyword to Run Compiled Words
We are going to add the "immediate" keyword to our Forth implementation in this video. The "immediate" keyword is entered after a compiled word is defined, and it causes that compiled word to run immediately after it is defined. To implement it, all we have to do is add a Swift function and an "else if" to our big dictionary "if" statement where we will call the function.
Immediate is explained under "How to Control the Colon Compiler" here: https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/...
