Simple abstraction argument question...

Brian H.'s icon

Hi,
I know how to use arguments in abstractions with #1, #2, etc. But If I want to send these arguments into, say an int box, I'm having trouble actually getting them in there. I can have them appear in a msg box, but how do I actually output them? Attached abstraction to try and illustrate.

Thanks!
Brian

The patcherargs object makes might be a useful alternative.

patcherargs is what I use most of the time, as it can provide a default argument when none are provided. That said, here's another brute force way:
