What does -1.#IND indicate?

In the JS IDE?

Where do you see that? Screenshot? Or in some docs?

It means NaN - Not a number. That is usually, when in the variable that should be double, something is stored, that isn't double.

According to this StackOverflow-thread it is usually displayed on Windows-systems in such cases.


Do you have some example-code with which you've triggered this error-message?

[Xenakios]

Some floating point calculation has produced an invalid value.

Thanks! I am in Windows. Any other such debug values I should look out for? Couldn’t find that one documented anywhere.

I may well be back here shortly with some code if I can’t figure out why it’s evaluating as such.

Trying to divide something by zero is a common way to get that result as well, at least in Lua.

Indeed, I had a function in @slider that divides some number by tempo.

Did some digging and realized that code in @slider gets called once on initialization, at which point tempo is 0, which is mildly irritating.

[Time Waster]

You can get around this and similar issues by setting a flag in @slider to trigger the calculation in @block.
