He more than answered your question. A complete and correct answer to
your question is, "Yes."

He went on to point out which language features to use to accomplish
your objective. There are still other ways which he did not mention
that I have pointed out.

In normal human discourse, it is not customary to accompany each
statement of fact with proof as you persistently demand.

If you try to implement such a program along any of the lines that have
been suggested by Peter, me, and others, and can't get it to work, post
your code, and someone will be glad to tell you where you went off the
rails.
