Unlike other programming languages, containers do not need to be declared. However, you still need to give them values. For example, to set the blue container to a value of ten you use the fill container command, with a constant of 10 wired in:
If you are doing multiple operations to the same container it is often useful to wire the container into multiple operating functions. However, be careful when wiring one container to multiple modify commands:
or
As you can see, the last value filled into the container is always the one that is in the container as the program views it. This is because container values are global and could be left over from a previous program. For example, if you run the first program above that sets the red container to 30, the value of the red container will remain 30 until another program changes its value. Also remember that, while the multiple connection shortcut is very handy, it should only be used when you are certain that it really ought to be wired into all functions involved. Also be aware that containers can only hold integer values; see \"wiring in constants\" for more information about this problem.
