Let's say I have a collection (1 - 4) with the values 40, 42, 54, 60. I want to find out, which index number is closest to a specific value. So, if the incoming value would be 61, the patch should output index 4, because 60 is closest to 61.

Does anyone happen to know a solution to this problem?

If the incoming value would be 41, there is a problem, because it is just as close to index 1 as it is to index 2. In this case I would like it to choose randomly or either the higher or lower index. All would be fine, just not both of them.

save the p as closest, and then give it an argument. You can also get the complete St.ools here:
