Hello

I have the following sentences:

"The message comes in component 1 and goes out of it after processing"
"Two flags are used to signal messages that come in the component and those that go out of it".

Incoming and outgoing are correct adjectives in this context, but using the verbal forms "come in" and "go out" seem awkward to me.

Any suggestions for better alternatives?

Thanks for any help

That probably depends on the context. In computer programming (software components) messages are received by components and components send their own messages to others.

"Two flags are used to signal received and sent messages."

Kajjo

PS
Since receive/send are of binary character (only two states are possible), one flag should be enough to signal receive/send.
