kind of radio ....

Is there longer radios? or maybe 3x8 radio matrix?
How to say, which radio must be active with a key press?
Does every radiobutton have its own output?

sorry, I dont understand your problem

I think You just did. This one works just as I need.
Can I also colour those buttons? The one, which is active and has X in it, goes red for example? And can they be made bigger also?

cheers

trigger i: bad type

thanks.
frank

And it workds great but why do i always get the error: trigger i: bad type

Because "i" is not a data type in pure data (there is no "integer" in Pd). Probably it was a mistake and it was supposed to be "f" (or "float").

Cheers,

Side question. What does this mean exactly? I mean, we have the [int] object and [expr] by default does integer division. Does this just mean that for anything we think is an integer in pd (like "2") is really just a float in disguise ("2.00000000")?

Yep, that's exactly correct. [int] is nothing else but an object that discards the decimal content, but still outputs a float. In Max MSP, on the other hand, there is a distinction between float and integer, which is why a lot of people is confused about Pd.

Are there any important consequences as a result of this? I mean, is there anything more than the minor inconvenience of not being able to type an "i" inside a [trigger]? What are people getting confused about when moving from Max to pd?

Having an "integer" type is "point"less... that's all Tee He (woof!)

You;re going to have to explain the joke to me, a poor programming noob

People coming from Max (as was my case, I was a Max users for some years before moving to Pd) will see these error messages and that will look cryptic to them. But nothing that a little googling wouldn't solve

Cheers!

Yes, that's why integers are pointless unless you are playing with Lego, and even then they have "half" bricks.

But in other programming languages they do make sense. You really don't want to mess your floating point numbers with integers, and things could get very complicated very easily. Depending on the manipulation you do, you could easily arrive at 2.999999 instead of 3.000000, and for instance when you are counting iterations of a loop that would be totally non-understandable.

integers have no place in our universe.

Absolutely true, but floats have no place in our concepts I mean, concepts like grouping things together (3 dogs, 5 cats and not 3.000001 dogs and 4.999999 cats), ordering, sequential things, etc. all need integers. And these are fundamental to most programming languages.

It is amazing what fun you can sometimes have with an old post... woof.

Absolutely!
