[How To? - stupid question] evaluate data types

Tiago Morgado's icon

Hello everyone

I need to evaluate data types (determining if my input is a int a float a symbol or a list), so that I can automatically trigger a way of packaging the information properly. So my question is simple: how do evaluate data types in MaxMSP?

Thanks in advance

-I really only need to know how to evaluate data types
-I've been checking message methods and so but didn't find anything
- I've been checking javascripts for jstrigger, but I am not being able to use this with max data types

[route int float list] will do that.

... and the remaining rightmost "if doesn´t match" output will output the input when
the input is a symbol.
