* Lists of numbers are numerical, Extension > import Sound.SC3.Lang.Collection Pointwise operations in the supercollider language extend the shorter input by cycling. That is, the expression: | [1, 2] + [3, 4, 5] is equivalent to: | [1, 2, 1] + [3, 4, 5] and so describes the three element list [4, 6, 6]. The collection module provides list instances for the standard haskell numerical type classes with the same extension behaviour, so that: > [1, 2] + [3, 4, 5] has the same value as in the supercollider language, and as distinct from the value of: > zipWith (+) [1, 2] [3, 4, 5] which is the two element list [4, 6]. The function underlying the list numerical instances is zipWith_c: > zipWith_c (+) [1, 2] [3, 4, 5] Since literals are interpreted as single element lists, the expression: > [1, 2, 3] * 4 denotes the list [4, 8, 12].
