Concept: Iteration

Concept: Iteration

Also in: -

Iteration, or “looping”, is a way of repeating a bit of code either a certain number of times (incremental) or until a certain condition is met (conditional). The three types of iteration...

Concept: Data Trees

Concept: Data Trees

Also in: -

As of Grasshopper 0.6, data can be stored in hierarchical structures not dissimilar to a branching tree. Data is still stored in lists; however, each list now has a series of indices describing the unique...

Concept: Vectors

Concept: Vectors

Also in: -

Vectors are an abstract non-geometrical data type that describe direction and magnitude in space. Similar to Points, Vectors are composed of three parts. For Vectors these parts are distances, not coordinates,...
