I have not used gen before but I want to create a simple function mapping an incoming index with an array element and return the array value for the index. I could implement the function in javascript using an array but I believe gen is more efficient(?) and I think it would be a great benefit to have all code budled with the max patch.

However I am not shure if gen can be used this way or if gen is for audio only types of operations? Also I am not sure where to start. I created a gen object with a codeBox and I tried to create an array but it seems like it is not regular C syntax? Any suggestions on where to begin will be appreciated.

gen~ is for audio operations, jit.gen is for Jitter matrix operations, jit.gl.pix is for Jitter texture operations.

However you *can* use gen~ to map a signal stream of indices to an array, if your array is stored in a buffer~. Have a look at the [peek] operator.

And you *can* use jit.gen to map a matrix of indices to another matrix. Have a look at the [nearestpix] operator.
