cleaned up a number of patches; renamed all to the standard -help.pd format; added some more ideas to the style guide; finished up lists_vs_anythings

-#X text 37 44 INLETS:;

-#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

-include only the first element. The first element in the list will

-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

-use. It will be sent to the left outlet when a float or bang is received

-in the left inlet.;

-#X text 22 484 SEE ALSO:;

-#X text 104 272 One - [float] accepts a single float as a creation

-argument which initializes the first value to be sent out the left

-outlet.;

-#X text 104 325 One - outputs the stored floating point value of the

-object.;

-#X text 43 24 All numbers in PD are kept in 32-bit floating point and

-can represent real numbers between -8 \, 388608 and 8.388.608.00;

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

-#X text 41 267 The following are examples of floating point numbers:

-;

-#X text 61 293 3;

-#X text 62 334 -111.5;

-#X text 61 313 0.5;

-#X text 40 387 3e-005 : 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.;
