Rube Goldberg Code

Hmm,

For some reason the word "chosen" made me think about the following:
chosen

The event is Subtract background: Value change.

I didn't realise at first that this was the same as:

[PaulG.]

Not really RG code. I usually leave controls unconnected and use the outputs from the event structure.

Not really RG code either, but I am always amazed what passes as "solution" these days. 😄

Where is that Me Too button when it could be useful

Splitting an integer representing seconds into hours, minutes, and seconds can be done in many ways, some are easier than others (seen here😞

Same thing (would work equally well with DBL):

To be fair, P@Anand probably had a ready-made VI that provided also days, etc.

That reminds me of a joke about a mathematician making cheese...

On the first occasion he pours the milk in the pot, lights the fire, puts pot over fire, stirs, etc.

On the second occasion the fire is already lit and the milk is in the pot (I guess the cleaning lady was helping out). The mathematician extinguishes the fire, pours the milk back in the bottle and cleans the pot. Thus he has reduced it to a problem that her knows how to solve from experience. 😄

I can't tell you how many times I have done this exact same code.  Then I started making a reuse library.  Except I didn't flip my minutes and hours...

EDIT:  Just noticed you corrected yourself between postings.  Oops.

Achieving perfection is an iterative procedure with no real enpoint... 😄

At least I'm to the point where I admit when I screw up...

Some are even easier.   😄

Note: the timestamp to time record can actually take a dbl but the number to timestamp function is just soooooo pretty
