Rube Goldberg Code

Hmm, I wonder if this could be simplified. (seen here)

The 2D array is just a constant after the first value right?

Yes, it'll be [[20],[15]] since the lower loops always gives 1 element out.

This

from here.

Also he only posted a picture, not actual code.

Inception fan haha

What are these actually? Never seen these type of data before

That is the old look for a Local Variable.  I'd have to do some digging to figure out when the look changed.  I'm thinking it was in the 2012-2014 time frame.

EDIT:  Wow, the redesign is older than I thought: 2010.

Found that in the other comments.

Still hard working on it apparently haha

As has been mentioned, you have to thank me for that. Similarly, look at the old rectangular boolean constant! 😄

This code is very old, but not prehistoric. For example LabVIEW 4 only had "continue if true" stop conditions but here we have a "stop if true". Stacked sequences were quite popular because the screen resolution was so low (e.g. 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768).

The absolute worst part of stacked sequences were the "sequence locals"., forcing unnatural wire directions.

Heh, i didn't react to that at all. Probably because that was the look when i started using LV and i've used few since they changed the looks. 🙂

We can't see any error wires, but i'd assume it's the yellow one and not the older pink ones.

I have a feeling it's LV7 or 8, upgraded from earlier versions.

I was always confused how people were putting these on their block diagram !!!

Yes the array example you provide makes a lot of sense actually.
