The values of adjacent feature attributes can only be accessed by manually typing in feature[-n].attribute_name in the Arithmetic Editor.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

Accessing adjacent feature attributes isn’t limited to manually typing a feature[-n].attribute_name in the Arithmetic Editor. You can bring the needed adjacent values into the current feature through other transformers (like a Joiner or a pass-through that carries forward the neighbor’s attribute) and then reference those attributes directly by name in your expressions. The feature[-n] syntax is just one convenient method; depending on how your workspace is wired, the same data can be accessed without typing that specific path.
