for an all-beginner's lecture, i've prepared a small handout about the super-basics in max (to be printed on double-sided A3). thought someone may have use for it.

(feel free to comment on corrections and additions, but bare in mind – it's intended to be super low-lever :))

that's actually really good! data types, message ordering, arguments, etc it's all there-- c74 stick this guy on your payroll!

"sending a float to an object defined to handle integers will usually round the result down", which is not correct.

truncation -2.9 ==> -2 (the way max handles float to integer conversion)

Messages are output from an object Right to Left. Not sure what you mean when you say "Top to Bottom". Max's own Tutorial 5 even says "bottom-to-top" when it considers the spatial disposition of objects. Max makes a depth-first exploration: "All actions on a branch are completed before the next branch is activated." (tutorial 5).

Interesting: I can't create a [switch] object with just 2 inputs, as in your graphic...
