forgive me for thinking aloud, how do I say (in Max):

"if any pair of numbers contains an integer > 0 then bang when that pair is received" e.g. 0-1, 2-0, 6-0, 1-2 BANG".

[zl stream 2] ===> [unpack i i] ===> [*] ===> [> 0]

Must try harder!!


related noise: how to test for true in two conditions, preferably using bangs, all objects I try appear to remember the right input argument/value

Solved, but in a cumbersome inelegant way; tried [timer], [counter], every [zl] object under the Sun. This uses [if], plus a [delay 5] to reset it:

Haven't had a Max challenge like this in a while...(thinks)....must be losin' my edge....

don't [zl] objects clear their stored stuff with a (zlclear) message or wotnot?

Also this isn't what you're looking for I don't think but hey.....

Hey thanks for this, it introduces some ideas I didn't think of, especially where the list exceeds 2 ints.

The problem is essentially that you're trying to milk state out of a message that only has time (bang.) 

I guess I was looking for an object with two cold inlets, which could assess the three possible permutations: 1-0; 0-1; 1-1. Your (stop) message to [onebang] is the closest I'll get. Thanks

Maybe buddy would give you the behavior you seek?

Hi Christopher, and thanks for updating my own Max lexicon!

most times Max brings me joy; occasionally though, it causes major headaches - because I'm staring at a broken algorithm, fully aware that there's a simple solution - an object, a combination of objects - that will fix it.

In the case of my toggles' states, I solved it with [*] ==> [togedge]; which does exactly what [&&]andChris' version of [onebang] do too in this context.

ps I forgot to leave a space between andand and and and Chris...........:)
