I was thinking the following expr would output a bang, but apparently not:

[expr if($f1 % 4 == 0, 1, 0);]

Instead, I get 1 (true) or 0 (false) (I assumed the 1 would equal a bang). This seems so simple that I must be overlooking something. What is it?! My solution so far is:

[expr if($f1 % 4 == 0, 1, 0);]
|
[sel 1] (to create a bang)

Thanks,

Seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to me . Of course, it might just be easier to do this:

[% 4]
|
[sel 0]

I don't think [expr] can send a bang.

Maelstorm, I didn't know that use of "%". Is that somewhere in Miller's book? Also, it is a perfect replacement of [wrap]...

OK, just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. Also, I'm using [expr] cause I'm looking to eventually change the false to some other equation (0 is a placeholder). As for [wrap], it is more like [% ] with an addition after the result. Certainly good when you want your result to go from some floor other than 0 to a limit.

PD has all the C arithmetic operators, +,-,/,*,%

[wrap] also handles floats, while [% ] will only output integers.

I think I found out about [% ] from looking at other people's patches. The helpfile for comparison operators includes it (which seems strange to me) and prefers to refer to it by its other name, [mod]. (Maybe [hardoff]? Oh my god, I apologize! That was lame.) But anyway, everyone seems to just use [% ].

Thanks! Yes [mod] that's what it actually is... haha and in the comparison help file it's listed on the left with 'bitwise' ))

[%] and [mod] seems not to be the same, since they do handle negative values in different ways?

Damn.

haha, maelstorm - can't believe that i figured out something before you did.
