Hi
thanks for this code - first time actually using ¨ and ⌷ in my comparison test on an old hp dual core linux machine - with only mplayer running with ⍴a and ⍴b 29882 chars according to ⎕ts my loop code takes ~39 seconds to put results into rs 2021 6 15 19 46 11 277 2021 6 15 19 46 50 354 and the new code takes ~50 msec to put results into rs1 yes msec vs seconds what is that 39000 msec vs 59 msec 2021 6 15 19 46 50 354 2021 6 15 19 46 50 404 +/rs1=rs and rs and rs1 don't exist before running them in fns 29882 ---- the only problem i have is in a fresh ws running the )copy as ⍎')copy mn9 mn9 is a file which has a string of 29882 chars assigned to mn9←'xxxxx' in it a←mn9 gives mn9 value error consistently - though when i check the )vars it is there and complete - running it in ram drive has no effect the unquoted ')copy' doesn't actually finish coping the file into the ws as fast as the code returns and goes to the next line no real problem as i usually hard code the sequnces (cutnpaste) into the script - but with some in the 100K range i will have to do the )copy manually and run in workspace thank you for giving me this code - much appreciated On Tue, 15 Jun 2021 15:20:27 +0200 Dr. Jürgen Sauermann <m...@xn--jrgen-sauermann-zvb.de> wrote: > Hi, > > how about: > > (a,¨b)⌷¨⊂ar > 11 22 33 44 44 33 22 11 > > > Best Regards, > Jürgen > > > On 6/15/21 2:45 AM, enz...@gmx.com wrote: > hello > > i've been using this looping for array work but there has to be a better apl > way of coding the indexing of the ar array > any suggestions > > > > ∇rs←lp;a;b;ar;i > 'lp' > 'ar' > +ar←4 4⍴11 12 13 14 21 22 23 24 31 32 33 34 41 42 43 44 > 'a ' > +a←1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 > 'b ' > +b←1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 > i←1 > rs←⍴0 > sp: > rs←rs,ar[a[i]; b[i]] > →((i←i+1)⍴a)/sp > '' > ∇ > > >
