vuo.math

These nodes are for doing mathematical calculations with numbers.

Many of these nodes have an integer version and a real number version. The integer version is for working with numbers without decimal points, such as 1, 99, 0, or -200. The real number version is for working with numbers with decimal points, such as 1.5 or -0.01. Because of the way that numbers are stored on a computer, the integer version gives exact results whereas the real number version is subject to (usually tiny) rounding errors. For example, the integer version of Divide (vuo.math.divide.integer) says that 4 divided by 3 equals 1 remainder 1, while the real number version of Divide (vuo.math.divide.real) says that 4 divided by 3 equals 1.333…3 (slightly less than 1 1/3).

Example compositions:

• Count: Every 1 second, displays the number of seconds that the composition has been running.
