Ooh, that too!
Clearly we need to consider the bug from both a musical and a artistic perspective; that's the ChucKist way! I am, BTW, quite sure those numbers are memory locations. They reset when you restart the Mini and will jump up when you do a bunch of other stuff. They are all over the place; you'll see them when trying to print a object or function that doesn't return anything; fun void foo() { <<<"yeah">>>; } Gain bar; <<<foo>>>; <<<bar>>>; What you had here was a bug, because integers on the other hand should give us something to print. Apparently instantiating one (as a operation) doesn't return the value. That also explains this; while( float rubber_ducky ) { <<<"quack">>>; second => now; } I now get why that works, previously I was just amused by it. I posted about that ages ago but never realised it actually demonstrated a bug. I ended up believing (when I was a young ChucKist) that instantiating a float named "rubber_ducky" returned true when this instantiation was successful but always had my doubts. That's one bug I'll be sad to see go. Kas. (easily amused)
