Create a list from a dictionary cycle - loops

I would like to create a list with this dict
{
"v3bf33-srv01": "eu-west0-a",
"v3bf33-srv02": "eu-west0-a",
"v3bf33-srv03": "eu-west0-a",
"v3bf33-srv04": "eu-west0-b",
"v3bf33-srv05": "eu-west0-b",
"v3bf33-srv06": "eu-west0-b",
"v3bf33-srv07": "eu-west0-c",
"v3bf33-srv08": "eu-west0-c",
"v3bf33-srv09": "eu-west0-c",
}
if a user ask 5 servers ( in a pipeline), cycle through servers of each value: eu-west0-a, eu-west0-b, eu-west0-c, then, eu-west0-a, eu-west0-b.
The result should be a list containing only the server name.
E.g.:
- v3bf33-srv01 #eu-west0-a
- v3bf33-srv04 #eu-west0-b
- v3bf33-srv07 #eu-west0-c
- v3bf33-srv02 #eu-west0-a
- v3bf33-srv05 #eu-west0-b
any help is welcome. ^^

using lookup tables to plot a ggplot and table

I'm creating a shiny app and i'm letting the user choose what data that should be displayed in a plot and a table. This choice is done through 3 different input variables that contain 14, 4 and two choices respectivly.
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(
selectInput(inputId = "DataSource", label = "Data source", choices =
c("Restoration plots", "all semi natural grasslands")),
selectInput(inputId = "Variabel", label = "Variable", choices =
choicesVariables)),
#choicesVariables definition is omitted here, because it's very long but it
#contains 14 string values
selectInput(inputId = "Factor", label = "Factor", choices = c("Company
type", "Region and type of application", "Approved or not approved
applications", "Age group" ))
),
dashboardBody(
plotOutput("thePlot"),
tableOutput("theTable")
))
This adds up to 73 choices (yes, i know the math doesn't add up there, but some choices are invalid). I would like to do this using a lookup table so a created one with every valid combination of choices like this:
rad1<-c(rep("Company type",20), rep("Region and type of application",20),
rep("Approved or not approved applications", 13), rep("Age group", 20))
rad2<-choicesVariable[c(1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11, 1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11, 1:7,9:14,
1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11)]
rad3<-c(rep("Restoration plots",14),rep("all semi natural grasslands",6),
rep("Restoration plots",14), rep("all semi natural grasslands",6),
rep("Restoration plots",27), rep("all semi natural grasslands",6))
rad4<-1:73
letaLista<-data.frame(rad1,rad2,rad3, rad4)
colnames(letaLista) <- c("Factor", "Variabel", "rest_alla", "id")
Now its easy to use subset to only get the choice that the user made. But how do i use this information to plot the plot and table without using a 73 line long ifelse statment?
I tried to create some sort of multidimensional array that could hold all the tables (and one for the plots) but i couldn't make it work. My experience with these kind of arrays is limited and this might be a simple issue, but any hints would be helpful!
My dataset that is the foundation for the plots and table consists of dataframe with 23 variables, factors and numerical. The plots and tabels are then created using the following code for all 73 combinations
s_A1 <- summarySE(Samlad_info, measurevar="Dist_brukcentrum",
groupvars="Companytype")
s_A1 <- s_A1[2:6,]
p_A1=ggplot(s_A1, aes(x=Companytype,
y=Dist_brukcentrum))+geom_bar(position=position_dodge(), stat="identity") +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Dist_brukcentrum-se,
ymax=Dist_brukcentrum+se),width=.2,position=position_dodge(.9))+
scale_y_continuous(name = "") + scale_x_discrete(name = "")
where summarySE is the following function, burrowed from cookbook for R
summarySE <- function(data=NULL, measurevar, groupvars=NULL, na.rm=TRUE,
conf.interval=.95, .drop=TRUE) {
# New version of length which can handle NA's: if na.rm==T, don't count them
length2 <- function (x, na.rm=FALSE) {
if (na.rm) sum(!is.na(x))
else length(x)
}
# This does the summary. For each group's data frame, return a vector with
# N, mean, and sd
datac <- ddply(data, groupvars, .drop=.drop,
.fun = function(xx, col) {
c(N = length2(xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm),
mean = mean (xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm),
sd = sd (xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm)
)
},
measurevar
)
# Rename the "mean" column
datac <- rename(datac, c("mean" = measurevar))
datac$se <- datac$sd / sqrt(datac$N) # Calculate standard error of the mean
# Confidence interval multiplier for standard error
# Calculate t-statistic for confidence interval:
# e.g., if conf.interval is .95, use .975 (above/below), and use df=N-1
ciMult <- qt(conf.interval/2 + .5, datac$N-1)
datac$ci <- datac$se * ciMult
return(datac)
}
The code in it's entirety is a bit to large but i hope this may clarify what i'm trying to do.
Well, thanks to florian's comment i think i might have found a solution my self. I'll present it here but leave the question open as there is probably far neater ways of doing it.
I rigged up the plots (that was created as lists by ggplot) into a list
plotList <- list(p_A1, p_A2, p_A3...)
tableList <- list(s_A1, s_A2, s_A3...)
I then used subset on my lookup table to get the matching id of the list to select the right plot and table.
output$thePlot <-renderPlot({
plotValue<-subset(letaLista, letaLista$Factor==input$Factor &
letaLista$Variabel== input$Variabel & letaLista$rest_alla==input$DataSource)
plotList[as.integer(plotValue[1,4])]
})
output$theTable <-renderTable({
plotValue<-subset(letaLista, letaLista$Factor==input$Factor &
letaLista$Variabel== input$Variabel & letaLista$rest_alla==input$DataSource)
skriva <- tableList[as.integer(plotValue[4])]
print(skriva)
})

How to return a dictionary from a database?

I have written functions to access a database.
The table called Books has:
- a `book_id` TEXT column,
- a title TEXT column, and
- an author TEXT column.
For the first one, run_query is a function that connects the database.
get_book_cnt_per_author is a function that returns a list of tuples in this form:
'author', number of books
I don't know how to use the run_query function through the loop. I always got None for what I wrote.
I don't know where my problem is. I only get one book for each author.
Please tell me what is the problem.

How to build an array comprised of two others using only particular elements of each?

I writing a little program to generate some bogus top-ten sales numbers for book sales. I'm trying to do this in as compact a fashion as possible and do it without using MySQL or another DB.
I have written out what I want to happen. I've created a bogus catalog array and a bogus sales array corresponding sales to the index of the catalog entries. That part all works great.
I want to create a third array that includes all the titles from the catalog array with the sales numbers from the sales array, like a join in a DB, but without any DB. I can't figure out how to do that part of it though. I think once I have it in there I can sort it the way I want it, but making that third array is killing. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong or how to do it right.
So given the following code:
require 'random_word'
class BestOnline
def initialize
#catalog = Array.new
#sales = Array.new
#topten = Array.new
inventory = rand(50) + 10
days = rand(1..50)
now = Time.now
yesterday = now - 86400
saleshistory = now - (days * 86400)
(1..inventory).each do
#catalog << {
:title => "#{RandomWord.adjs.next.capitalize} #{RandomWord.nouns.next.capitalize}",
:price => rand(5.99..29.99).round(2)}
end
(0..days).each do
#sales << {
:id => rand(0..#catalog.count),
:salescount => rand(0..24),
:date => rand(saleshistory..now) }
end
end
def bestsellers
#sales.each do
# THIS DOESNT WORK AND I'M STUCK AS HOW TO FIX IT.
# #topten << {
# :title => #catalog[:id],
# :salescount => #sales[:salescount]
# }
end
puts #topten.group_by{ |tt| tt[:salescount]}.sort_by{ |k,v| -k}.first(10)
end
end
BestOnline.new.bestsellers
How can I create a third array that contains the titles and number of sales and output the result of the top-ten books sold?
Try this out:
def bestsellers
#sales.each do |sale|
#topten << {
title: #catalog[sale[:id]][:title],
salescount: sale[:salescount] }
end
#topten.sort! { |x, y| y[:salescount] <=> x[:salescount] }
puts #topten.first(10)
end
I suggest you write:
def bestsellers(sales)
sales.max_by(10) { |h| h[:salescount][:salescount]] }
end
puts bestsellers(sales)
Enumerable#max_by was permitted to have an argument in Ruby v2.2.
There are several problems with the way you've structured your code. Now that you have running code (by incorporating #fbonds66's answer), I suggest you post it at SO's sister-site Code Review. The purpose of CR is to suggest improvements to working code. If you read through some of the questions and answers there I think you will be impressed.
I was doing the dereferencing wrong trying to build the 3rd array of the 1st two:
#sales.each do |sale|
#topten << {
:title => #catalog[sale[:id]][:title],
:salescount => sale[:salescount]
}
end
I needed to work on the hash returned from .each as |sale| and use correct syntax to get what I was after from the other arrays.

Multiple outputs with a for loop in praat

I have a script where I have multiple folders each with three audio files in them ID#_1, ID#_2, and ID#_3. The user can input a string of different ID#s, one after the other, and then the script recognizes the different IDs and runs the code for each of them.
I have a for loop set up for this -
form Settings
comment Enter the IDs of the different subjects
sentence subjectIDs
endform
numOfSubjects = length(subjectIDs$)/4
for i from 0 to (numOfSubjects - 1)
subjectID$ = mid$(subjectIDs$, 1 + 4*i, 4 + 4*i)
outFile$ = subjectID$ + "/SubjectResponseOnsets" + subjectID$ + ".txt"
path$ = subjectID$ + "/" + subjectID$
#firstOutput
#secondOutput
#thirdOutput'
Each of these procedures is defined previously in the code, and they basically output certain ranges from the audio files out to a text file.
The code seems to work fine and generate the output file correctly when one ID is given, but when I try to run it with more than one ID at a time, only the text file for the first ID is outputted.
The for loop does not seem to be working well, but the code does work fine in the first run.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
I don't know if I understood well what your script was trying to do, since the snippet you pasted was incomplete. It's best if you provide code that is executable as is. In this case, you were missing the closing endfor, and you were calling some procedures that were not defined in your snippet (not even as placeholders). I had to write some dummy procedures just to make it run.
Since you also didn't say how your script was failing, it was unclear what needed to be fixed. So I took a stab at making it work.
It sounded as if your ID splitting code was giving you some problems. I took the split procedure from the utils plugin available through CPrAN, which makes inputting the IDs easier (full disclosure: I wrote that plugin).
form Settings
comment Enter the IDs of the different subjects
sentence subjectIDs 01 02 03
endform
#split: " ", subjectIDs$
numOfSubjects = split.length
for i to numOfSubjects
subjectID$ = split.return$[i]
path$ = subjectID$
outFile$ = path$ + "/SubjectResponseOnsets" + subjectID$ + ".txt"
# Make sure output directory exists
createDirectory: path$
#firstOutput
#secondOutput
#thirdOutput
endfor
procedure firstOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "First"
endproc
procedure secondOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "Second"
endproc
procedure thirdOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "Third"
endproc
# split procedure from the utils CPrAN plugin
# http://cpran.net/plugins/utils
procedure split (.sep$, .str$)
.seplen = length(.sep$)
.length = 0
repeat
.strlen = length(.str$)
.sep = index(.str$, .sep$)
if .sep > 0
.part$ = left$(.str$, .sep-1)
.str$ = mid$(.str$, .sep+.seplen, .strlen)
else
.part$ = .str$
endif
.length = .length+1
.return$[.length] = .part$
until .sep = 0
endproc
If this is not what you are having trouble with, you'll have to be more specific.

How to update a Mnesia table in Erlang

I have a little problem with my code. I have a table containing car details, name, price and quantity, so I am trying to create a function called buy which will be used to buy a specific car. When a user buys eg 5 BMW cars, they will call buy_car(bmw,5). Now after this I want to update the new value of quantity for BMW cars.
My attempt is below but I can't seem to work around it, I am new to Erlang.
buy_car(X,Ncars) ->
F = fun() ->
%% ----first i find the number of car X available in the shop
[Xcars] = mnesia:read({car,X}),
Nc = Xcars#car.quantity,
Leftcars = Xcars#car{quantity = Nc - Ncars},
%% ---now we update the database
mnesia:write(Leftcars),
end,
mnesia:transaction(F).
Please help me with how I can write a function that buys cars from the shop.
But your implementation works fine except you added illegal comma after mnesia:write(Leftcars).
Here is code that works (I tried your implementation as buy_car2).
-module(q).
-export([setup/0, buy_car/2, buy_car2/2]).
-record(car, {brand, quantity}).
setup() ->
mnesia:start(),
mnesia:create_table(car, [{attributes, record_info(fields, car)}]),
mnesia:transaction(fun() -> mnesia:write(#car{brand=bmw, quantity=1000}) end).
buy_car(Brand, Ncars) ->
F = fun() ->
[Car] = mnesia:read(car, Brand), % crash if the car is missing
mnesia:write(Car#car{quantity = Car#car.quantity - Ncars})
end,
mnesia:transaction(F).
buy_car2(X,Ncars) ->
F = fun() ->
%% ----first i find the number of car X available in the shop
[Xcars] = mnesia:read({car,X}),
Nc = Xcars#car.quantity,
Leftcars = Xcars#car{quantity = Nc - Ncars},
%% ---now we update the database
mnesia:write(Leftcars)
end,
mnesia:transaction(F).
I would do something like below:
Considering the record is defined as :
-record(car_record, {car, quantity}).
The following function will update the data:
buy_car(X,NCars) ->
Row = #car_record{car = X, quantity = NCars}.
mnesia:ets(fun()-> mnesia:dirty_write(Row) end),
mnesia:change_table_copy_type(guiding_data, node(), disc_copies).
To use the above method, mnesia table must be created as "ram_copies" and with no replication nodes. Also, if there are lot of updates happening, you might not want to copy the ram_copies to disk for every update due to performance issues, rather you will do it in time triggered manner.
