I find the [expr] way particularly ill-suited to Pd since Pd strips away unnecessary decimals and decimal places, thus making it look like it's Max-compatible when, depending on where the user puts whitespace, it may not be: [expr 2.0/3] is the same in Max/Pd [expr 2.0 /3] is not > > GridFlow's grids default to int32 (This is because this is > the int type in jMax.

But then I think it would be more useful to have a flexible if, then, else syntax where you can specify the outlet explicitly. Maybe that means this is a separate object than expr. I read the Max 5 documentation and they have if and else functions where you specify the outlet with out1, out2, etc. http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/max-ref/if.html > > > * [#expr $0-array[$f1] ] ? > > I suppose so, but we're far from that. > > At this point, [#expr 1000-100-10-1] = 909, and I'm trying > to make it so that it's 889.
