Formula Node issue - how to spawn array output?

[alexderjuengere]

Hello forum,

there is this online help article from NI:

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/lvconcepts/formula_nodes/

...where we see this piece of code:

Can somebody help me to re-create this? I tried, but I can't spawn the numArry as an actual array output - it's always a scalar!

There must be a trick, please tell me

Here's what I tried already:

Regards,
Alex

Right-click the node output and set the data type? (Sorry, posting by phone, cannot test).

Hi Alex,

Believe it or not, it is because of your comment syntax! Change the " /* " to " */ " at the end of your comment.

Gregoryj is right.

(I guess I had the Mathscript node behavior in my mind when composing my answer above, but in my defense I never use any script nodes myself ;))

thank you both!

I hardly use the script nodes in real applications - but for lazy prototyping, I tend to use the formula node.

Especially, if mathematically or logical equations are involved in finishing the task.

Understanding the formula node's syntax and programming with it
