In organ.c, the variable "wavelength" should called "period" or "timePeriod"

As a sound engineer by trade, I agree that 'wavelength' was a bit confusing at first. At the same time, however, a term like 'period' might seem discouraging to the music production kids.
How about "frequency"? Its a comfortable word, and I believe correct by definition?

Hi rithma, I appreciate your input on this manner. My issue with using "frequency" is that this variable we are talking about is not frequency, it is the inverse of frequency 1/f. That is why I suggested using "period", since the period T = 1/f in engineering.

I see. Since the c function determines the duration of each cycle, 'period' would be a good name.

I need to stop thinking in Layman's terms, now that I'm learning code....

aararonsky, you're totally right. (And since I wrote the code a few years ago, I have no idea why I chose wavelength over period -- it's not like I don't know the difference...)

If it's confusing for someone, it's worth changing. I'll do that right away.

... and done! Thanks again.
