#P comment 8 39 248 196622 Right-to-Left Precedence in Max;
#P comment 33 296 268 196622 The first time you click bang here \, you will get 7 instead of -2 as you might expect. That's because of right-to-left precedence: the 12 arrives in the left inlet of the subtract object before the 14 ever gets a bang message.;
#P comment 31 446 277 196622 You can follow the "order of operations" in slow motion by using the Trace menu.;
#P comment 315 287 189 196622 this works correctly because we've moved the 14 to the right of the 12 \, so it now gets the bang first.;
#P comment 549 339 211 196622 Or we can use the trigger object to make it even clearer the order in which messages are getting sent out.;
