Max Type Conversion Table: Bang Int Oat Symbol List Signal Matrix

This document provides a conversion table showing how different Max object types can be converted between integer, float, symbol, list, and matrix data types. For example, it indicates that a bang can be converted to an int by using number boxes or arithmetic objects, and that objects expecting a float will accept an int and convert it by truncating any decimal values. It also provides examples of objects that can be used to convert between the different data types, such as sprintf for converting between symbols and other types.
