Code:

I am trying to get this code running. As an example I show the following.

JONL1 holds {1 7} and TEMP4 holds {1 3 5 7} so I want the result of this code


Code:


to be {3 5}

Then new code after the ":"

Which will result with TEMP6 holding {1 0 0 7}

Try this:

Code:


It's a variation of the solution to the other thread, and it dumps the solution to list T8 instead of T7.

Code:


Here is my code. The use of "C" is to provide a universal escape criterion. I get no output from the output statement and when checking T8 on the screen I get an invalid dim error.

I was going to work on this last night but It was late when I got your post and I have a very bad cough, so I put it off till this AM.

Since the dimension of a list can be zero at the least, this line sets C to something that is at least one.

Code:


If C is always at least one, this line will always be true.


Code:


The reason you're not getting anything is because the program is skipping to Label 10, which skips the output command, the sort commands, the code in the For loop, and everything.

Previously I have used If J=5 when I knew That the Dim(LIST was 4.

How is this different?

In this case isn't C 5?

Code:


Since C is always going to be 5, this will always be true, and it will always skip to Label 10, at the end of the program.

I modified the code as shown with a STOP command. That says 4 passes of N then stop, correct?


Code:


But T8 still returns an invalid dim error.

If you want it to stop after four passes of N, stick the Stop command after the For loop.

I have good news & bad news with the attached code which I will discuss


Code:



Code:


originally looked like this

Code:


Thus the loop never ran. With that fix the loop ran. In this list of output statements I display the results

Code:


Now the results of the second Output statements

Code:

the final line of code produced this


Code:

Kerm,
I have waited 2 days. This is about this line of code.


Code:


From my previous post you can see that it produced {0,1,1,0}

This morning I wrote this little test


Code:


It works fine.

So how do we fix the code below


Code:

Oh snap, I could have sworn there weren't any new posts here the last time I stopped by.

Code:


Uh, what exactly is wrong with this? When I run it it works fine, and I get {3,5} stored into list T8.

Regarding the second post before this, list T8 is equal to {0,1,1,0} because it hasn't multiplied that by list TEMP4 yet.

I guess you forgot that T8 wants to be {1,0,0,7}

Code:

I thought that the whole point of the other thread was getting {1,0,0,7}...

I'm assuming you still need the zeros. Try this, it's smaller because rthprog made it.

Code:

John, could you explain exactly what the problem is? As far as I can tell, we've given you all the code that you need...


@EmperorWiggy

There's no need for


Code:

Oh yeah, that's true. I like overusing SetUpEditor and Unarchive commands when I'm working with lists.

I'll go see if I can optimize the code I... borrowed from you any further.

It's good to be safe

To all my senior programmers, I salute you.

I think we are done for a while. I have a lot of testing to do.

I presently do not know how we deal with these two boundary conditions?

1. How to we decide when the regression process is complete?
2. What do we do when there are no correct answers in a particular regression.

I have played with different ways to solve the 1) above. It is very clear we would be done then OVER1 held all "0s" like this


Code:


I do not know how to recognize the above condition. If we did, then we could do this:


Code:


I eagerly await some more of that senior programmer smarts.

How about If not(sum(LOVER1?

Your code works under the assumption that all elements are nonnegative. Though it really doesn't make a difference to John, another way to check if all elements are 0 would be

Code:
