i

i — Returns an init-type equivalent of a k-rate argument, or directly returns an i-rate argument.

Description

Returns an init-type equivalent of a k-rate argument or array element or directly returns an i-rate argument.

Syntax

i(x) (control-rate or init-rate arg)
i(karray,index1, ...) (k-array with indices)

Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

[Note] Note

Using i() with a k-rate expression argument is not recommended, and can produce unexpected results.

To get the value from an array element reliably the second form should be used.
