behavior. Universal methods are all other methods. There are even methods allowing access to the Macintosh Toolbox for those of us who can’t resist the temptation to get down and dirty.
The execution of a method begins with data becoming available on the roots of the input bar. All terminals connected to the roots have access to the data. When an operation has all the data it needs, it becomes eligible for execution. This does not necessarily mean it is the next operation to execute. The default execution order of operations can be determined and even changed, but it is not wise to rely on it. If the order of execution is important,Prograph has a synchro link that connects two operations and specifies which must execute first. Someday personal computers will have more that one CPU and

operations will be able to run concurrently. Explicitly specifying the synchronization required will enable your program to run unchanged on computers with multiple CPUs.
When the example executes, an integer becomes available on all the links connected to the root. The constant 1 also becomes available to the operation and the comparison occurs. The check mark beside the operations means “go to the next case on success”. This means that if the integer is less than or equal to 1, Prograph will quit executing the current case and go to the next case shown in the second window. We can recognize which case window we
