Hi list
I understand that [symbol 43( is not the same as [43( as it is interpreted
as a symbol, not a float.
So I can send the message [symbol 43( to a symbol atom, or to any object
that works with symbols, and it will be handled just as if it was [symbol
dog(, right?
However, when this symbol

First you need to understand the basic role of selectors in Pd's
message system: http://puredata.org/dev/PdMessages

[print] is
Thanks a lot Frank,
now I see it all quite clearly.
I always thought that the two following conjectures were true:
conjecture 1 - any given message output by any PD object can always be
reproduced by writing it down literally in a message box
conjecture 2 - a PD message is simply a human-reada

I've tried to document odd behavior in Pd. Here's my collection:

It comes down to pd making a float out of every number it runs into,
which limits the precision of t

That's what I meant: To me it's not a big issue. I think I've never

sorry if i haven't followed this discussion properly,
but i have had trouble with making abstractions that can take either a
symbol or float as an argument.
the only way i could manage was to make a (f $1) object and a (symbol $1)
object...and then direct them both to (list2symbol)
but it give
