“Works out part of list whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[a, b, c, d] from 2, 2 → [b, c]
What it does
Some items of a list, like the first 10. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: some items of a list, like the first 10.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
