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"}}

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
