hi

it is quite difficult to see, where the problem is located.afait it IS a problem of exeution order, but it is not possible to SEE where it is, because there are sometimes more than one connection per outlet. this means, the execution order is not defined. in order to make the patch more readable, insert a trigger-object as you used it after the bang-button. you can also set 'f' (float), 's' (symbol), 'l' (list) or 'a' (anything) as a arguments. and: do not use [del 1] to define the order. use [trigger] too. in case one bang follows another within less 1ms, the [del 1] is too slow (i admit, this is true only theoretically, in fact the shortest time between 2 bangs is 1.45ms because of the controlrate of pd [64samples/44.1kHz]) . the only way to be sure that your patch is working correctly is using triggers, triggers triggers...... :-) i attached a slightly redesigned version of your fibonacci-patch.

i was writing a patch that generates the famous Fibonacci's serie (1 1 2 3 5 8 13...) and calculates sectio aurea.

it seems that works ok, BUT at one point the left number stops

changing.

i am wondering if it is a problem of execution order... one hour ago i could say that i know enough of pd, but now i'm a bit confused. the weird thing is that if you try to restart (with the [1 2< message), it stops at different times. i overlooked at the patch, and i cannot find the problem

please enlighten me (and try to ignore my bad english :))

happy coding!
