Let's begin with something simple, like addition. I'll go back up to the addition node, and I'll click once to drop an addition node into our workspace. This particular node takes an x and a y input, two inputs in total. So I'm going to navigate to the input basic portion of the node library, and drop in two number data inputs. I'm also going to want to drop in a watch node, in order to see the data coming out of the addition node. We can find that under display, watch, in the node library. I'm going to go ahead…
