A note that uses every medium

A useful note should choose the smallest representation that makes the idea easy to recover. Prose explains intent; tables compare; equations compress; diagrams expose structure; code removes ambiguity.

Comparison table

Medium	Best for	Avoid when
Prose	Context and causal explanation	A precise relationship fits one equation
Table	Comparing a fixed set of dimensions	Sequence or topology matters
Diagram	Flow, boundaries, and ownership	Decoration is the only purpose
Code	Exact executable behavior	Pseudocode communicates more clearly

Highlighted code

bounded.c

int clamp_int(int value, int low, int high) {
    if (value < low) return low;
    if (value > high) return high;
    return value;
}

Math

Inline math keeps a relationship close to its sentence: the arithmetic mean is $\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_i$.

A block gives the model room to breathe:

$$\operatorname{Var}(X) = \mathbb{E}\left[(X - \mathbb{E}[X])^2\right]$$
