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-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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...
