## Implied Steps ##
By convention, the sender and the receiver are implied, rather than included explicitly in a path, even though they are the proper first and last steps. Sometimes the second step and second-to-last step are also implied by the issuers of the currencies to send and receive. More specifically:
By convention, several steps of a path are implied by the [fields of the Payment transaction](transactions.html#payment): specifically, the `Account` (sender), `Destination` (receiver), `Amount` (currency and amount to be delivered) and `SendMax` (currency and amount to be sent, if specified). The implied steps are as follows:
* The first step of a path is always implied to be the sender of the transaction, as defined by the transaction's `Account` field.
* If the transaction includes a `SendMax` field with an `issuer` that is not the sender of the transaction, that issuer is implied to be the second step of the path.

* If the `Amount` field of the transaction includes an `issuer` that is not the same as the `Destination` of the transaction, that issuer is implied to be the second-to-last step of the path.
* Finally, last step of a path is always implied to be the receiver of a transaction, as defined by the transaction's `Destination` field.
See [Payment Transaction Type](transactions.html#payment) for more information on the fields of a Payment.
