Method setValue

src/bsh/Variable.java:83–113

Set the value of the typed variable. @param value should be an object or wrapped bsh Primitive type. if value is null the appropriate default value will be set for the type: e.g. false for boolean, zero for integer types.

( Object value, int context )
