assignment - How to store value in a For loop


I am using two For loops. When the inner loop finishes, I don't want to print but I want to store the result from the inner loop in some variable so that I can call that variable in the future. That result will come in the form of a list.


For example, in the 1st iteration,it is returning some value, e.g. {2,4}. in the 2nd iteration,it is returning {3,4}.


But I don't want to print them every time. I want some variable to store {{2,4},{3,4}}. How to do that?


Here I am retrieving all the data except Null.


tab={{{"option1", "option3", "option4", "optio", "Null", 

"Null"}, {"option2", "option5", "option6", "option7", "Null", "Null"},
{"option", "op", "Null", "Null", "Null", "Null"}}};

For[j = 1, j <= Length[tab[[1]]], j++,
For[i = 1, i <= Length[Rest[tab[[1, j]]]], i++,

If[TrueQ[(Rest[tab[[1, j]]][[i]]) == "Null"], count++, count = 0]]
Print[
Table[Rest[tab[[1, j]]][[i]], {i,1, (Length[Rest[tab[[1, j]]]] - count), 1}]] ]

Answer




In light of your update, is this all you're trying to do?


Cases[#, Except@"Null"] & /@ tab[[1, All, 2 ;;]]


{{"option3", "option4", "optio"}, {"option5", "option6", "option7"}, {"op"}}



Specific references to understand this code for your convenience:
Part, Function, Slot, Map, Cases, Except




If for some reason you feel you must use For loops, you can substitute Sow and Reap for Print as follows:



Reap[
For[j = 1, j <= Length[tab[[1]]], j++,
For[i = 1, i <= Length[Rest[tab[[1, j]]]], i++,
If[TrueQ[(Rest[tab[[1, j]]][[i]]) == "Null"], count++, count = 0]
];
Sow @ Table[
Rest[tab[[1, j]]][[i]], {i,
1, (Length[Rest[tab[[1, j]]]] - count), 1}]
]
][[2, 1]]



{{"option3", "option4", "optio"}, {"option5", "option6", "option7"}, {"op"}}

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
