Simple Timing

Here are two simple timing mechanisms. Build both of them and explain what they do. The code for these is in the comments section of this post.

Which do you think is better (more computationally efficient) ? Build a simple mechanism using two "line" objects to have a number go from 0.0 to 2.0 in 5.5 seconds and then back from 2.0 to 0.0 in 2.0 seconds.

Read the help patch for "line" to start you on your way.
