## Inputs

### Outer Scope

Parameter ID: `OUTERDOMAIN`

This input is useful when linking different nodes that shoulde have equal hierarchical dependency on each other.

### ...}

Parameter ID: `INNERDOMAIN`

This port is important if you want to use the node within a program loop, e.g. if you want to execute the node with a connected *Range* node several times in a cycle. This connection then ensures that this circuit area is first processed completely before the results of the node are passed on to the subsequent circuit or the higher-level loop.

### DataType

Parameter ID: `DATATYPE`

This setting does not normally need to be changed. The node can determine the data type of a connected **Array** itself and transfer it to the output array accordingly. Only use this setting if you want to change the data type of the connected array. You must ensure that a conversion of the data type introduced is plausibly possible.

### Array

Parameter ID: `ARRAYIN`

Connect the array that you want to shorten by the last entry here. This last element is output directly at the node together with the shortened array.
