Number dot dot number
What is the first number in a list
Zero
How do we specify the number of values in the list
Add the # sign. So 2..6..#10
How do we specify the number of values and the increments in a number
Add the # sign to the second value, so 2..#6..10
What does lacing do
It determines how an input port should use the incoming data
What is it called when we add a # sign and a letter to a number
Variable
What is the syntax for adding a variable to a number
Add a # sign and then a letter. So 0..20..#a
