Purpose and Motivation
The explanation of .dump is too minimal and abstract. I have summarised what I learned from scsynth.org and the old mailing list.
In particular, the following thread was helpful:
https://scsynth.org/t/understanding-the-result-of-dump-low-level-data-for-float-hexadecimal-for-string-gc-fmt-flg-and-set/8553/3
https://listarc.cal.bham.ac.uk/lists/sc-users-2016/msg50531.html
Thanks to @telephon, @dkmayer, @adcxyz, @jamshark70, and @mossheim!
I have added explanations that are as detailed as possible and as simple as possible for those new to SuperCollider with no programming experience.
I hope this can be approved and merged if the content is correct.
In the hope that someone will let me correct the wrong information rather than be ignored, so that this PR can help someone like me without having to search the internet.
