How do I swap an(example) array's second and third elements? I tried the following
def swap_elements(array)
array = ["blake", "ashley", "scott"]
array[1], array[2] = array[2], array[1]
end
but I get
: ["scott", "ashley"]
I lost the first[0] element

There are many ways to do this - this is a functional approach that doesn't mutate the original array:
def swap_elements(array)
# yields the array to the block
array.then do |first, *rest| # deconstruct the array
rest.reverse # swap the places of 2 & 3
.unshift(first) # put the first back in
end
end

I have 2 arrays like and , I want to generate a new array with 2 elements like pID and cNo. pID is getting from the first array and the cNO is from the second array. How to merge these 2 arrays like
newarr= { 0: pID:970989, cID:'dfds'
1: pID:970995, cID:'fgd',
2: pID:971006, cID:'t765'}
Assuming your arrays are equal in length you can just loop over one of them and create a new array.
const newArray = pIDArray.map((pID, index) => ({ pID, CID: cIDArray[index] }));

What does it mean in MATLAB when I do:
array = array (1:number)
and what does it mean:
array = array(indexes_array)
and finally, what does it mean:
array = array(indexes_array,:)
Answers, according to MATLAB docs:
1)
array = array (1:number)
The colon notation in MATLAB provides an easy way to extract a range of elements from v:
v(3:7) % Extract the third through the seventh elements
ans =
9 4 2 11 7
2)
array = array(indexes_array)
array is reorganized according to indexes_array order, assuming that indexes_array is composed of indexes.
3)
array = array(indexes_array,:)
just the same as number 1), array is reorganized according to all the rows of indexes_array, ignoring the columns.

Given an array of letters:
#recipients_list = ["Mum and Dad", "my best friend", "Brother"]
# > Here are the letters available to ship, select one by number
# > 1. Mum and Dad
# > 2. My best friend
# > 3. Brother
As a user I then enter 3 (notice that Brother in this case is the recipient name). My code:
x = #recipient_list.each_with_index do |value, i|
index_start = i + 1
puts "#{index_start}.#{value}"
end
input = gets.chomp.to_i
puts x.at(input)
How to get brother value from array when user press 3? Anyone can help?
You have to use puts x.at(input - 1) because of Ruby arrays' indexing starts with 0

I have 2 arrays of strings as under. I want to compare them and execute some code if these arrays are not equal-
current_instances = ["170601_7711", "170601_8811"]
app_instances = ["170602_7711", "170602_8811"]
How can I compare them in ruby?
x = ["alpha1", "beta1"]
y = ["alpha2", "beta2"]
Check if all elements are the same
x == y #=> false
Compare each element
Compare each string at some index i, assuming both arrays are the same size. Then apply some code to the matches.
x.zip(y) #=> [["alpha1", "alpha2"], ["beta1", "beta2"]]
x.zip(y).map {|a,b| a == b ? 'do this' : 'else do this' }
#=> ["else do this", "else do this"]
Perhaps you can do an array difference with the - operator and execute your code if the difference is zero
arr_diff = current_instances - app_instances
This is the simplest solution I could think of :)
Check my solution and let me know how it goes

Lets say, we have the following two-dimensional array in Matlab:
A=[0 451
0 446
0 543
.....]
etc. I want to create another, one-dimensional array, that will do this:
For example, lets call the 1-D array B, B(1) will "show" to [0 451]. B(2) will "show" to [0 446], B(3) will "show" to [0 543] and so on.I hope that my desired result is pretty clear to anyone who could give me a bit help.
Two ways:
a=1:10
split_a1=(reshape(a,2,[])).';
Access split_a1 as split_a1(1,:),...,split_a1(5,:);.
split_a2=mat2cell(a,1,2*ones(1,numel(a)/2));
Access split_a2 as split_a2{1},...,split_a2{5};.
Well, what you have just set is impossible, you are mixing the arrays and the Dimensions.
As you have explained it, B is 2-D, and A is 1-D. You can do what you want by doing this:
j=0;
i=1;
while i<=size(A,2)/2;
j=j+1;
B(i,1)=A(j);
j=j+1;
B(i,2)=A(j);
i=i+1;
end
