unfortunately there's no printf-style function in javascript.

look up "toFixed", "toPrecision", and "toExponential" on this page.

you have to convert the number to a string using these functions and

then add the resulting strings together with '+'.

if you really want something more like printf, you could try what this guy did:

note, i haven't tested to see if toFixed etc. are working in Max/MSP

Don't know of any myself, but there is SO much info on the web.

(I rarely use print material these days..)

Just make sure you filter out the web-specific stuff, and find

references for the core language. Other than that, all you need to

know is in the Javascript for Max/MSP manual. (You might want to also

read an OpenGL manual if you're interested in that.)

In fact that Mozilla page seems like a good starting place, in terms

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference

(Not everything there will be applicable to Max of course..)

Personally I found this little guide quite useful too, though it

assumes a certain amount of knowledge in OO programming:
