I'm using FloatArray:
private val values = FloatArray(5)
At some point, I need to reset each array value to zero. I tried doing it like this:
values.onEachIndexed { index, value -> value[index] = 0.0f }
But I am getting this error
No set method providing array access
At the same time, this code works (outside onEachIndexed) and I can set the value for the element:
values[1] = 4.0f
What am I doing wrong ? Please help me
Your attempt does not work because value there represents an element of the array, not the array itself, so you cannot use [] to set it. Reassigning it a new value will not work either, because value is a lambda parameter.
There is a builtin method for filling the entirety (or a portion) the array - fill
values.fill(0.0f)
Recently I was reading a Programming book and found this question:
I have an array :
array = [2,3,6,7,8,9,33,22];
Now, Suppose I have deleted the element at 4th position i.e. 8 .
Now I have to rearrange the array as:
Newarray = [2,3,6,7,9,33,22];
How Can I do this. And I have to also minimize the complexity.
Edit I have no choice to make another copy of it.I have to only modify it.
You can "remove" a value from an array by simply copy over the element by the next elements, that's easy to do with memmove:
int array[8] = {2,3,6,7,8,9,33,22};
memmove(&array[4], &array[5], sizeof(int) * 3);
The resulting array will be {2,3,6,7,9,33,22,22}.
And from that you can see the big problem with attempting to "remove" an element from a compile-time array: You can't!
You can overwrite the element, but the size of the array is fixed at time of compilation and can't actually be changed at run-time.
One common solution is to keep track of the actual number of valid elements in the array manually, and make sure you update that size as you add or remove elements. Either that or set unused elements to a value that's not going to be used otherwise (for example if your array can only contain positive numbers, then you could set unused elements to -1 and check for that).
If you don't want to use a library function (why not?) then loop and set e.g.
array[4] = array[5];
array[5] = array[6];
and so on.
Do this, just use these two functions and it will work fine
index=4;//You wanted to delete it from the array.
memcpy(newarray,array,sizeof(array));
memmove(&newarray[index], &newarray[index + 1], sizeof(newarray)-1);
now the newarray contains your exact replica without the character that you wished to remove
You can simply displace each element from the delIdx(deletion index) one step forward.
for(int i=delIdx; i<(arr_size-1);i++)
{
arr[i]= arr[i+1];
}
If required you can either set the last element to a non-attainable value or decrease the size of the array.
Updated Question; Original below.
I am trying to create an array which represents a grid of cells, which have tuples containing the walls they are surrounded by.
I have come up with this:
rooms(Array) ->
Size = array:size(Array),
if
Size == ?HSIZE * ?VSIZE ->
Array;
true ->
HFactor = Size rem ?VSIZE,
VFactor = Size div ?HSIZE,
Room = {1+HFactor+11*VFactor,
7+HFactor+11*VFactor,
12+HFactor+11*VFactor,
6+HFactor+11*VFactor},
rooms(array:set(Size, Room, Array))
end.
When I run this with rooms(array:new()). I get the following array back:
{array,25,100,undefined,
{{{1,7,12,6},
{2,8,13,7},
{3,9,14,8},
{4,10,15,9},
{5,11,16,10},
{12,18,23,17},
{13,19,24,18},
{14,20,25,19},
{15,21,26,20},
{16,22,27,21}},
{{23,29,34,28},
{24,30,35,29},
{25,31,36,30},
{26,32,37,31},
{27,33,38,32},
{34,40,45,39},
{35,41,46,40},
{36,42,47,41},
{37,43,48,42},
{38,44,49,43}},
{{45,51,56,50},
{46,52,57,51},
{47,53,58,52},
{48,54,59,53},
{49,55,60,54},
undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined},
10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10}}
Which is quite close to the desired result, but there are two things I can't quite put my finger on (The numbers are correct). Why does it look like it is split up into multiple subarrays? What are those undefineds and 10's doing there? These are mostly due to my lack of erlang knowledge, because array:get produces the expected results, but I couldn't find anything which explains where they come from.
Original Question
rooms(Array) ->
Size = array:size(Array),
if
Size == 5 ->
Array;
Size rem 5 == 0 ->
rooms(array:set(Size, array:new(), Array));
true ->
In_Array = array:get(array:size(Array), Array),
In_Size = array:size(In_Array),
Room = {1+In_Size+11*In_Size,
7+In_Size+11*In_Size,
12+In_Size+11*In_Size,
6+In_Size+11*In_Size},
New_In = array:set(In_Size, Room, In_Array),
rooms(array:set(Size, New_In, Array))
end.
I call it with rooms(array:new()). but the result is
** exception error: bad argument
in function array:size/1 (array.erl, line 317)
in call from framework_kamer:rooms/1 (framework_kamer.erl, line 195)
Which makes sense because In_Array is not an array, but undefined. However, I can't figure out why.
Side question, is there an easier/cleaner/better way to do this?
You are (in the second call of the recursion) trying
In_Array = array:get(array:size(Array), Array),
As array is zero-indexed this will always fail, as the access will be always be off by one. Change this line to
In_Array = array:get(array:size(Array) - 1, Array),
and you are fine.
A few comments on your code:
Conventional variable naming in Erlang would be CamelCase without underscores (i.e. InArray)
Expressing a 2-dimensional array as nested arrays is almost never a good idea. Linearalise it by writing simple wrappers that recalculate a one-dimensional index from x and y as index = y * max_x + x.
I have a dozens of arrays with different array names and I would like to do some mathematical calculations in to for loop array by array. I srucked in calling these array into for loop. Is there anybody can help me with this problem? text1 array contains array names. My "s" struct has all these arrays with the same name content of text1 array.
text1=['s.CustomerArray.DistanceDriven','s.CustomerArray.TimeDriven'];
for i=1:3
parameter=str2num(text1(i));
k=size(parameter,2);
a=100;
y=zeros(a,k);
end
After this part my some other calculations should start using "parameter"

I think you are doing several things wrong, here are some pointers.
Rather than listing them manually, consider looping over the fieldnames which can be obtained automatically.
If you are looping over strings, make sure to use a cell array with , rather than a matrix.
If you have a constant, declare it outside the loop, rather than inside the loop. This won't break the code but just makes for obsolete evaluations.
If you want to store results obtained inside a loop, make sure to add an index to the variable that you loop over.
That being said, here is a guess at what you are trying to do:
f = fieldnames(s.CustomerArray);
y = cell(numel(f),1);
parameter = NaN(numel(f),1);
for t = 1:numel(f)
parameter(t) = s.CustomerArray.(f{t});
y{t} = zeros(100,numel(f{t}));
end
I have an array of 20 items long and I would like to make them an output so I can input it into another program.
pos = [0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,]
I would like to use this as inputs for another program
function [lowest1, lowest2, highest1, highest2, pos(1), pos(2),... pos(20)]
I tried this and it does not work is there another way to do this?
I'm a little confused why you'd want to do that. Why would you want 20 outputs when you could just return pos as a single output containing 20 elements?
However, that said, you can use the specially named variable varargout as the last output variable, and assign a cell to it, and the elements of the cell will be expanded into outputs of the function. Here's an example:
function [lowest1, lowest2, highest1, highest2, varargout] = myfun
% First set lowest1, lowest2, highest1, highest2, and pos here, then:
varargout = num2cell(pos);
If what you're trying to do is re-arrange your array to pass it to another Matlab function, here it is.
As one variable:
s=unique(pos);
q=[s(1) s(2) s(end-1) s(end) pos];
otherFunction(q);
As 24 variables:
s=unique(pos); otherFunction(s(1), s(2), s(end-1), s(end), pos(1), pos(2), pos(3), pos(4), pos(5), pos(6), pos(7), pos(8), pos(9), pos(10), pos(11), pos(12), pos(13), pos(14), pos(15), pos(16), pos(17), pos(18), pos(19), pos(20));
I strongly recommend the first alternative.
Here are two examples of how to work with this single variable. You can still access all of its parts.
Example 1: Take the mean of all of its parts.
function otherFunction(varargin)
myVar=cell2mat(varargin);
mean(myVar)
end
Example 2: Separate the variable into its component parts. In our case creates 24 variables named 'var1' to 'var24' in your workspace.
function otherFunction(varargin)
for i=1:nargin,
assignin('base',['var' num2str(i)],varargin{i});
end
end
Hope this helps.
Consider using a structure in order to return that many values from a function. Carefully chosen field names make the "return value" self declarative.
function s = sab(a,b)
s.a = a;
s.b = b;
