I just want to count : 0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2... by continuously hitting a bang. Can somebody tell me why this isn't working? Thanks, Brad.
why don't you use [counter] ?
attached a working version of your construct...

Here's an alternative version

hi list,
theoretically if this patch runs a while the number [float] has to
store becomes very high. could this be a (performance-) problem at
one point?
just curious.

No performance problem, however it will wrap around at some (very far) point, so you will get wrong results.

no it won't wrap. all the numbers are stored as floating-point values. when numbers get very high, floating-point won't be able to increment the number by a small amount (like 1.0); thus the counter will stop to count!

No, floats are of fixed size, and generally always take the same amount of time to handle (except for the P4 bug).
With a float32 you should be able to count up to 16777216 and then it will get stuck (or skip) because the result has to be rounded: 16777215 is the biggest odd number in float32.

Tis true. Add a [select 0] to make it infinite:

It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on
terrorism."

Yes, see here: http://royalrabbit.goto10.org/svn/goto10/pd-patches/fbar/tuts/counting.pd
You should use the float outlet for counting, and you can build a restricted counter using [mod] (it's also called a "modulo-n-counter".
