Mathematical Operations

• An operation is triggered by data or a "bang" at an object's left inlet.

• The right inlet stores the last received value and initially defaults to 0 (for + and *), infinity for / and 1 for %.

• Math operators can also take an initial right operand value via an object argument.

• Math operators in Pd always perform floating-point calculations.

• Both arguments of an operation can be sent to the left inlet as a list.

• Various other math objects exist, including abs, min, max, and pow.
