! #X text 37 59 - LEFT:;
! #X text 104 59 Float - A float at the left inlet will update the stored
! value of the object and will send the number immediately to the outlet.
  ;
! #X text 104 114 Bang - A bang at the left inlet will force [float]
! to send its value to the outlet.;
! #X text 104 152 List - A list at the left inlet will be truncated to

! update the stored value of the object and will send the number immediately
! to the outlet.;
! #X text 29 220 - RIGHT:;
! #X text 105 220 Float - A float at the right inlet is stored for later

! #X text 11 78 WHAT IS A FLOATING POINT NUMBER?;

  ;
! #X text 61 293 3;
! #X text 62 334 -111.5;
! #X text 61 313 0.5;
! #X text 40 387 3e-05 : This example is a computer shorthand for scientific
! notation. It means 3*10-5 (or 10 to the negative 5th power multiplied
! by 3).;
! #X text 41 108 According to Webopedia.com , "computers are integer
! machines and are capable of representing real numbers only by using
! complex codes." Hence , real numbers must be 'approximated' by computers
! using the "floating point standard". In such a number , the decimal
! point can "float" meaning that there is no fixed number of digits preceding
! or following the decimal. A floating point number is therefore a computer's
! approximation of a real number.;
! #X text 43 453 Interesting side-note: In the early 1990's , the Intel
! 80486 was shipped with a math coprocessor to help accelerate the process
! of computing floating point numbers (which previously required a considerable
! amount of CPU power.) Math coprocessors have since found there way
! into nearly every graphics card and CPU available today.;
