Printing ith row jth column value in lisp - arrays

I am taking input N as number of rows of a 2D matrix in lisp, where each row can have maximum of 5 elements in it. So i make it like this. Now for eachrow as it can have any number of elements between 0 to 5. So I made a sepearte array to store size of each row of 2D matrix and increment it whenever I push any element in it
(setq myMatrix (make-array (list N 5)))
(setq sizeArray (make-list N:initial-element 0))
Now when I need add elements to any row I take input while the row has maximum elements or user himself exits to enter any more elements in that row. To add an element to ith row I do something like this :
(setf (aref myMatrix i (nth i sizeArray)) "Hi")
// Hi is just for example here
(setf (nth i sizeArray) (+ 1 (nth i sizeArray)))
Now I want to print say ith row of this myMatrix Like this :
Item 1 : myMatrix[i][0]
Item 2 : myMatrix[i][1]..and so on
In direct way, I want jth value of ith row. How we can get this in lisp ?

Because you are using an array of lists how about:
(defun element-of-matrix (matrix i j)
(nth j (aref matrix i)))

Multiplying an array by a number

I've been writing out a function in Clojure that would take a row of a 2d array and then multiples the values in it by a single value. I have the index to get the specific row and the value to multiply the row with in another array.
The function will return the array, that has now got values multipled by the single value.
Here's the code:
(def twod-array [[3.1 0.0023 0.35]
[0.21 0.00353 8.13]])
(def iandv [1 3.1])
(defn array-multiply [iandv twod-array]
(
let [array-row (nth twod-array (nth iandv 0))]
(map * [array-row] [(nth iandv 1)])
)
The let gets the array row and then it will return the row with the values inside multiplied with the value of the "index and value" array.
This has the closest I've gotten using the examples with the clojure.doc website and I'm getting a ClassCastException of the following:
ClassCastException clojure.lang.PersistentVector cannot be cast to java.lang.Number clojure.lang.Numbers.multiply (Numbers.java:148)
I've been looking at map vector and other map functions but I haven't been able to find a good solution.
more clojurish way could look something like this:
(defn array-multiply [[row mul] twod-array]
(update twod-array row #(mapv (partial * mul) %)))
user> (array-multiply iandv twod-array)
;;=> [[3.1 0.0023 0.35] [0.651 0.010943000000000001 25.203000000000003]]
Your code is somewhat hard to read, but basically, you're trying to multiply a number and a vector, that doesn't work.
(defn array-multiply [iandv twod-array]
(let [array-row (nth twod-array (nth iandv 0))]
(map * array-row [(nth iandv 1)])))
works since array-row already is a vector.

Pass subarray by reference (not by value) in Common Lisp

Let's suppose I have an array - which I will call *my-array* - that looks like this:
#2A((1 2 3)
(4 5 6)
(7 8 9))
and I wish to apply some function f on the subarray
#2A((5 6)
(8 9))
I'd love to be able to write
(f (subarray *my-array* '(1 2) '(1 2))
where subarray takes as arguments:
the original array
a 2-element list with starting point and ending point on the 1st dimension
another 2-element list with starting point and ending point on the 2nd dimension
etc.
I am looking for some way to pass the subarray as argument to function f by reference (or by pointer?) instead of by value.
(The dumb way to address this would be to write a function that creates (in this specific case) a 2*2 array and loops over i and j copying values from the original array. However, if you are dealing relatively large arrays, this would be quite costly.)
I found there exists a cl-slice package but I do not get whether it copies values or accesses data by reference.
Common Lisp has Displaced Arrays which are exactly what you are asking about (see array-displacement &c).
However, in your case, displaces arrays are no help because:
Multidimensional arrays store their components in row-major order; that is, internally a multidimensional array is stored as a one-dimensional array, with the multidimensional index sets ordered lexicographically, last index varying fastest.
This means that your subarray is not a contiguous section of your main array, and, thus, you cannot create another array displaced to it.
PS. If you cannot figure out how cl-slice works, you can use time to see how much memory it uses and make your inference from that.
PPS. It is, in fact, not too hard to whip up something like what you want:
(defmacro slice (array &rest ranges)
"Return an accessor into ARRAY randing in RANGES."
(let ((args (loop for r in ranges collect (gensym "SLICE-ARG-")))
(arr (gensym "SLICE-ARRAY-")))
`(let ((,arr ,array))
(lambda ,args
(aref ,arr
,#(loop for arg in args and (lo hi) in ranges
for range = (- hi lo)
collect
`(progn
(unless (<= 0 ,arg ,range)
(error "~S is out of range [0;~S]" ,arg ,range))
(+ ,lo ,arg))))))))
(defparameter *my-array*
#2A((1 2 3)
(4 5 6)
(7 8 9)))
(defparameter f (slice *my-array* (1 2) (1 2)))
(loop for i from 0 to 1 do
(loop for j from 0 to 1 do
(format t " ~S" (funcall f i j)))
(terpri))
5 6
8 9
As others pointed out, you cannot use displaced arrays for matrices (maybe you could with non-standard functions). But all you need is to change how you interact with the original array. Here are some possibilities.
Sequences of displaced arrays
(defun area (matrix tlx tly brx bry)
;; you may also want to check that all coordinates are valid
;; inside current matrix. You could generalize this function for
;; more dimensions.
(assert (<= tlx tly))
(assert (<= brx bry))
(loop
for y from tly upto bry
collect (make-array (1+ (- brx tlx))
:displaced-to matrix
:displaced-index-offset
(array-row-major-index matrix y tlx))))
(tl means top-left, br means bottom-right).
Then, assuming you define your matrix as follows:
(defparameter *matrix* #2A((1 2 3)
(4 5 6)
(7 8 9)))
... the sub-matrix is obtained as follows:
(area *matrix* 1 1 2 2)
=> (#(5 6) #(8 9))
... and accessed like this:
(aref (nth ROW *) COL)
Any changes to *matrix* is reflected in one of the two displaced arrays, and inversely.
But if you coerce the resulting list as a vector, then you'll have a vector of arrays. This is different from multi-dimensional arrays, but gives you constant time access for rows:
(aref (aref area ROW) COL)
Wrapper closure
Another way to provide a restricted view of the original matrix is to create an accessor function that works only for the ranges of interest:
(defun sub-matrix (matrix tlx tly brx bry)
;; again, you should do more checks
(assert (<= tlx tly))
(assert (<= brx bry))
(lambda (x y &optional (value nil valuep))
(incf x tlx)
(incf y tly)
(assert (<= tlx x brx))
(assert (<= tly y bry))
(if valuep
(setf (aref matrix y x) value)
(aref matrix y x))))
This returns a closure which takes 2 or 3 arguments. The first two arguments are x and y coordinates relative to the inner matrix. When given a third argument, the closure sets the value. Otherwise, it gets the value.
This can be made more generic. I was partly inspired by sds's answer but tried to do things a little differently; here I can generate either a setter or a getter function. I also add some checks before creating the function and during the execution of the created function:
(defun slice-accessor (array ranges mode)
(let* ((dimensions (array-dimensions array))
(max-length (length dimensions)))
(check-type array array)
(loop
with r = (copy-list ranges)
for range = (pop r)
for (lo hi) = range
for d in dimensions
for x from 0
for $index = (gensym x)
collect $index into $indices
when range
do (assert (<= 0 lo hi d))
and collect `(check-type ,$index (integer 0 ,(- hi lo))) into checks
and collect `(incf ,$index ,lo) into increments
finally (let ((body `(apply #'aref ,array ,#$indices ())))
(return
(compile nil
(ecase mode
(:read `(lambda ,$indices
,#checks
,#increments
,body))
(:write (let (($v (make-symbol "VALUE")))
`(lambda (,$v ,#$indices)
(check-type ,$v ,(array-element-type array))
,#checks
,#increments
(setf ,body ,$v)))))))))))
CLOS
Once you have the above, you can provide a nice interface through objects. The setter and getter functions are updated whenever we change the ranges or the array being sliced:
(defclass array-slice ()
((array :initarg :array :accessor reference-array)
(ranges :initarg :ranges :accessor slice-ranges :initform nil)
(%fast-getter :accessor %fast-getter)
(%fast-setter :accessor %fast-setter)))
(flet ((update-fast-calls (o)
(setf (%fast-setter o)
(slice-accessor (reference-array o) (slice-ranges o) :write)
(%fast-getter o)
(slice-accessor (reference-array o) (slice-ranges o) :read))))
(defmethod initialize-instance :after ((o array-slice) &rest k)
(declare (ignore k))
(update-fast-calls o))
(defmethod (setf reference-array) :after (new-array (o array-slice))
(declare (ignore new-array))
(update-fast-calls o))
(defmethod (setf slice-ranges) :after (new-ranges (o array-slice))
(declare (ignore new-ranges))
(update-fast-calls o)))
(defgeneric slice-aref (slice &rest indices)
(:method ((o array-slice) &rest indices)
(apply (%fast-getter o) indices)))
(defgeneric (setf slice-aref) (new-value slice &rest indices)
(:method (new-value (o array-slice) &rest indices)
(apply (%fast-setter o) new-value indices)))
Examples
(defparameter *slice*
(make-instance 'array-slice :array *matrix*))
;; no range by default
(slice-aref *slice* 0 0)
=> 1
;; update ranges
(setf (slice-ranges *slice*) '((1 2) (1 2)))
(slice-aref *slice* 0 0)
=> 5
(incf (slice-aref *slice* 0 0) 10)
=> 15
*matrix*
=> #2A((1 2 3) (4 15 6) (7 8 9))
;; change array
(setf (reference-array *slice*) (make-array '(3 3) :initial-element -1))
(slice-aref *slice* 0 0)
=> -1
I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want to do. In memory, multidimensional arrays are implemented as a single flat array with some metadata which is used to convert from the multidimensional interface to the flat one. In your case *my-array* would look like this:
#(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
If you had the subarray you desired as a reference to the original array, it would look like this:
#(5 6 _ 8 9)
Which is impossible since you are trying to skip the 7 of the original array. If all of the desired elements were part of a contiguous sub-sequence, you would be able to use the :displaced-to argument of make-array in order to copy the sub-sequence by reference, but unfortunately, that is not the case.

Last element of an Array in Clojure

Is there any simplier way to find the last element of an array in clojure except this function?
(fn [l] (if (empty? (rest l)) (first l) (recur (rest l))))
For vectors, use peek for constant time
user=> (peek [1 2 3 4 5])
5
For Java arrays,
user=> (let [a (to-array [1 2 3 4 5])] (aget a (dec (alength a))))
5
For a general collection, you can get the last item in linear time with last. It is defined similarly to what you have done.
user=> (source last)
(def
^{:arglists '([coll])
:doc "Return the last item in coll, in linear time"
:added "1.0"
:static true}
last (fn ^:static last [s]
(if (next s)
(recur (next s))
(first s))))
The simplest way is to use (last l) that works in linear time (http://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/last)
Another possibility is to reverse your collection and take the first element: ((comp first reverse) l). But that's rather slow as reverse returns a non-lazy sequence. Note: comp returns a composition of its arguments (functions) (http://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/comp)
You can also convert the collection to a vector first and then apply peek: ((comp peek vec) l). This should have a better performance.
Another one: determine the length of your collection and take the last element (#(nth % (dec (count %))) l).
These functions work for all collection types (e.g. vectors, lists, ...). There are no arrays per se in Clojure (except you want to use Java arrays).

collecting multiple maximum values

I have a list of elements. Each element is structured as followed:
('symbol "string" int-score)
An example list:
(list (list 'object1 "wabadu" 0.5)
(list 'object2 "xezulu" 0.6)
(list 'object1 "yebasi" 0.5)
(list 'object1 "tesora" 0.2))
I want to retrieve the maximum values for a specific symbol. When I search with the symbol object2, I should get back:
('object2 "xezulu" 0.6)
If I search with object1, I should get back:
(('object1 "wabadu" 0.5) ('object1 "yebasi" 0.5))
I want to collect all the highest elements of a specific object. What I can do is this: assume that the above list is the list used below and that I'm searching for object1. I can retrieve all elements of a specific object:
(loop for element in list
when (equal 'object1 (first element))
collect element)
I can also retrieve one highest element of the list:
(loop for element in list
when (equal 'object1 (first element))
maximize (third element))
However, this will only return one element. What I want is all maximum elements. I've tried some combinations with collect and maximize, but my knowledge on the syntax is little. Is there a way to collect all the highest elements in a ‘simple’ function?
A sketch of a LOOP-based version:
(defun mymax (target list &aux result max)
(loop for (item name value) in list
when (eql item target)
do (cond ((or (null result)
(> value max))
(setf result (list (list item name value))
max value))
((= value max)
(push (list item name value) result))))
result)
This will create a hash-table with the keys being the symbols and the values being arranged in the way (maximum . (list of strings corresponding to maximum))
(let ((data (list (list 'object1 "wabadu" 0.5)
(list 'object2 "xezulu" 0.6)
(list 'object1 "yebasi" 0.5)
(list 'object1 "tesora" 0.2))))
(loop
:with table := (make-hash-table)
:for (item string num) :in data :do
(destructuring-bind (&optional max strings)
(gethash item table)
(cond
((or (null max) (< max num))
(setf (gethash item table) (list num (list string))))
((= max num)
(setf (cdr strings) (cons string (cdr strings))))))
:finally (return table)))
;; #<HASH-TABLE {1005C6BE93}>
;; --------------------
;; Count: 2
;; Size: 16
;; Test: EQL
;; Rehash size: 1.5
;; Rehash threshold: 1.0
;; [clear hashtable]
;; Contents:
;; OBJECT1 = (0.5 ("wabadu" "yebasi")) [remove entry]
;; OBJECT2 = (0.6 ("xezulu")) [remove entry]
I think your life would be later easier with this hash table then with the data structure you currently have.
You can do that by looping through the list once for selecting all the sublists with the right first elements and determining the maximum (you can use into to let loop accumulate multiple values), and then a second loop in the finally clause go through the selection and now select only those with the maximum score:
(loop for triple in *l*
for (key nil score) = triple
when (eq key 'object1)
collect triple into selection
and maximize score into max-score
finally (return (loop for triple in selection
when (eql (third triple) max-score)
collect triple)))
Edit: Alternatively, instead of a second loop, the delete function can be used here quite concisely:
(loop for triple in *l*
for (key name score) = triple
when (eq key 'object1)
collect triple into selection
and maximize score into max-score
finally (return (delete max-score selection
:test #'/=
:key #'third)))
The maximize returns only one element. You can sort all the list by the 3rd component and then gets the front one(s). Like this:
;;; suppose a copy of the data is stored in l
;; get all 'object1 and sort them
(setf l (sort (remove-if-not
(lambda (x) (equal (first x) 'object1)) l)
#'> :key #'third))
;; remove the ones with smaller value than the first one
(setf l (remove-if
(lambda (x) (< (third x) (third (first l)))) l))
Abstract your data to create basic building blocks; combine building blocks into your needed functionality:
(defun make-foo (type name score)
(list type name score))
(defun foo-type (foo) (elt foo 0))
;; ...
(defun make-foos (&rest foos)
foos)
(defun foos-find-if (foos predicate)
;; return all foos satisfying predicate
)
(defun foos-maximize (foos orderer)
;; return the maximum foo (any one)
)
(defun foos-find-if-maximized (foos)
(foos-find-if foos
(let ((max (foos-maximize foos #'foo-score)))
(lambda (foo)
(= (foo-score max) (foo-score foo))))))
Here is an approach by first saving symbol-list that only contains the lists with the search object. Then we can easily get the maximum value and remove those lists with a smaller value.
(defun foo (symbol list)
(let* ((symbol-list (remove-if-not #'(lambda (l) (eq (first l) symbol))
list))
(max (apply #'max (mapcar #'third symbol-list))))
(remove-if-not #'(lambda (l) (= (third l) max))
symbol-list)))
We can call it: (foo 'object1 l)
As a rule of thumb, if you are really wanting to boil down a list of things into a single result, there should be a nice way to do this with reduce.
And there is:
(defun collect-maxima-by-third (list)
(reduce
#'(lambda (max-list next-element)
(let ((max-value (third (first max-list)))
(next-value (third next-element)))
(cond ((< max-value next-value)
(list next-element))
((= max-value next-value)
(cons next-element max-list))
(t max-list)))) ; the greater-than case
(rest list)
:initial-value (list (first list))))
It's not perfect, as if you give it an empty list it will give you a list containing an empty list instead of just an empty list, but you can easily add a case for this if you think that will happen often.
This type of technique (maybe not this exact example) is detailed in various texts on functional programming; some Haskell texts do a particularly good job (Learn You a Haskell comes to mind).

Creating an n-sized permutation with scheme using only basic constructs

Is it possible to generate n-sized permutations of a list using only the basic scheme constructs?
With define you can do it like this (without define the answer would be no, because you'll need to use recursion):
First define a function that takes a list of lists and a value and returns a list of lists where the given item has been prepended to each list in the original list of lists.
This can be done by writing a simple recursive function that uses cons to prepend the item to the first list (using car to get the first list) and then uses cons again to prepend the extended list to the result of calling the function on the other lists (i.e. on the cdr of the list of lists). If the list is empty (and thus doesn't have a car and cdr), return the empty list.
You'll also need a function that removes a given item from a list. This can also be done by defining a simple recursive function that takes an item and a list. At each step the `car´ of the given list should be prepended to the result of the recursive call if it is not equal to the item that is to be deleted. If it is equal, the result of the recursive call should be returned directly.
Further you'll need a function to concatenate lists. This can also be implemented recursively without too much trouble.
Then define a function that given a list of lists and an item calls the previous function with the item and each sublist as its argument.
Now define the a function that creates n-sized permutations. This function should take the number n and a list. If n is 0, it should return the empty list. Otherwise it should call itself recursively for each item x in the list with (- n 1) as the new value for n and the result of removing x from the list as the new value for the list. Then the results of the recursive calls should be concatenated.
This is an explanation of the code found in Rosetta, although, I have changed the variable names to help make it more readable, and added my explanation of the code below. I did check to see if the code works in DrRacket, and it does.
Before defining permute, two helper functions are required namely, seq and insert.
seq builds a list containing a sequence of numbers. For example (seq 0 3) -> (0 1 2 3).
The elements (numbers) in the list are used in the insert function to insert the carItem at various positions in the 'cdr' list.
(define (seq start end)
(if (= start end)
(list end) ; if start and end are the same number, we are done
(cons start (seq (+ start 1) end))
)
)
insert generates a list with the carItem inserted in the "n"th position of the cdrList. For example, (insert '(b c) 0 'a) -> '(a b c) and (insert '(b c) 2 'a) -> '(b c a).
(define (insert cdrList n carItem)
(if (= 0 n)
(cons carItem cdrList) ; if n is 0, prepend carItem to cdrList
(cons (car cdrList)
(insert (cdr cdrList) (- n 1) carItem))))
Finally, as for the main function permute, it uses insert and seq in a recursive manner.
For example, when plist = '(b,c) the lambda evals to the following:
; (map (lambda (n)
; (insert '(b c) n 'a))
; '(0 1 2)) -> output of seq function given n = 2, which is length of '(b c)
; '((a b c) (b a c) (b c a)) ---> will be the output
(define (permute mylist)
(if (null? mylist)
'(())
(apply append (map (lambda (plist)
(map (lambda (n)
(insert plist n (car mylist)))
(seq 0 (length plist))))
(permute (cdr mylist))))))
(permute '(a b c))
If the above nested lambdas makes your head spin (it did for me), find below, IMHO, a more readable "define" version, thanks to Matthias Felleisen:
(define (permute mylist)
(cond
[(null? mylist) '(())]
[else
(define (genCombinationsFor plist)
(define (combineAt n) (insert plist n (car mylist)))
(map combineAt (seq 0 (length plist))))
(apply append (map genCombinationsFor (permute (cdr mylist))))]))
