Ok so I have a spreadsheet which we extract a 2d array of values from.
But really I want one variable per line of this 2d array.
The following code does work... but is this the best way to do it?
function testAssignments(){
config = ss.getRange("C2:C6").getValues();//2D Array
result = []
config.forEach(x => result.push(x[0]))
var [a,b,c,d,e] = result;
console.log(a,b,c,d,e);
}
I also tried the line config.forEach(x=> x=x[0]) but that didn't work for some reason.
Use .flat instead of .forEach and .push. If you want a different variable name for each element, there isn't a better way.
const [a,b,c,d,e] = ss.getRange("C2:C6").getValues().flat();//1D Array
//or
const [[a],[b],[c],[d],[e]] = ss.getRange("C2:C6").getValues();

I generally find indexOf very useful, to get an index directly, and not writing 3-4 lines of for loop to get a match.
Is there any similar function, say like indicesOf , to get an array of all possible matches ?
Or may be having a different name, but acts as a shortcut as beautifully as "indexOf" ?
As you don't mind creating a new Array, you can use the filter() function - it executes a function on each item of the array, then returns a new Array with the items that return true:
// our comparison function
function myCompFunction( element:*, index:int, array:Array ):Boolean
{
return ( element > 10 );
}
var ar:Array = [5,10,15,20];
var ar2:Array = ar.filter( myCompFunction ); // ar2 is now [15,20]
It's not exactly indicies, but then again, you don't need to dereference your objects.
NOTE: because it's calling a function on each element, looping through the array yourself will still be quicker
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Array.html#filter()
Unfortunately, there is not such shortcut. indexOf works for only one item, and there is no alternative for multiple items.
The solutions are obvious - iterate over the entire array or use some kind of sort on the array. Maybe there are other methods, but they are almost the same - loop through everything and check. Sorry to say it, but that's the way it is :)
i am just not able to read a csv file .I want to display a graph for it.
I am getting error:

As mentioned by cuckovic there are quite a few errors in your code, not to mention that you seem to be using different styles to achieve similar things which is confusing. Anyway there are 3 fundamental things that are casuing you trouble, the first is your dataset. The value column of the csv is being read as a string. You need to convert it to a number by:
dataset.forEach(function (d,i) {
d.value = +d.value;
});
The next issue you have is the yScale where you have set the range to .range([0,h]);. This is the wrong way round for an svg viewport in which the y direction starts from top and increases towards the bottom. So you need to swap the 0 and h around in the range.
The next thing to address is the difference between d and d.value. When you bind data through the data() operator you are generally binding an array. In this case it is an array of objects. So after you have bound the data, d refers to each element of that array which in this case is an object containing a name and a value. This can be seen if you console.log your dataset. When d is passed to yScale it doesn't know what to do with it as it is not a number, what you really want to do is to pass d.value to yScale. So replace your d's with d.value.
Finally, the last part of your code starting at d3.select("p") does not seem to add anything.
I'd recommend reading Scott Murray's tutorials, particularly this one if you haven't already.
I have multiple sub-arrays in one huge array - MasterArray- meaning that the sub-arrays are already INSIDE the MasterArray. I would like to "fuse" all of those sub-arrays - to remove those [ ] square brackets.
I would like to avoid the "concat" method because the arrays are already inside the MasterArray. Is there a command/method how to do this?
Thank you.
var englandCities:Array = [London, Manchester, Leeds];
var franceCities:Array = [Paris, Orleans, Avignon];
var europeanCities:Array = [englandCities, franceCities];
I would like to point let's say...to "London" nested in the europeanCities array somehow.
After I try to trace it, it gives me "englandCities", which makes sense.
trace(europeanCities[0]);
// displays "englandCities"
// how can I make it display "London" ?
How can I make the europeanCities array to display "London" ?
I NEED TO REMOVE THOSE SQUARE BRACES from the "europeanCities" array WITHOUT using the concat() thingie...
OKAY let me rephrase this a bit. My master array:
var europeanCities:Array = [englandCities, franceCities];
equals to
[[London, Manchester, Leeds], [Paris, Orleans, Avignon]];
am I right? And now, how to remove the inner brackets in order to get something like this:
[London, Manchester, Leeds, Paris, Orleans, Avignon];
And please, keep in mind, that the array is much longer than englandCities and frenchCities....there are like...30 different Cities.
You can concat those together easily, and it really is the simplest option:
var englandCities:Array = ["London", "Manchester", "Leeds"];
var frenchCities:Array = ["Paris", "Orleans", "Avignon"];
var masterArray:Array = [englandCities, frenchCities];
var europeanCities:Array = new Array();
for each(var country:Array in masterArray) {
europeanCities = europeanCities.concat(country);
}
trace(europeanCities); // London,Manchester,Leeds,Paris,Orleans,Avignon
I'm not sure I understand your reason for avoiding concat for this, unless the issue is it that you don't want to duplicate the values. (So modifying englandCities[0] will also modify europeanCities[0].)
If your cities are Objects rather than primitive Strings, a concatenated Array will work fine. If they are primitives though, there's no way to do this with an Array. You could however write a function to provide similar behaviour like this:
var englandCities:Array = ["London", "Manchester", "Leeds"];
var frenchCities:Array = ["Paris", "Orleans", "Avignon"];
var allCities:Array = [englandCities, frenchCities];
function europeanCities(id:int):String {
var cityID:uint = 0;
while (id > allCities[cityID].length - 1) {
id -= allCities[cityID].length;
cityID++;
}
return allCities[cityID][id];
}
trace (europeanCities(0)); // London
trace (europeanCities(5)); // Avignon
Create an empty array, then traverse the masterArray taking any sub-arrays, and do a concat() for your new array. This will make you another array that's flat, without disturbing master array.
I just write this here because it is possible.
If you insist on not using concat here is one bad solution:
// join elements into a comma delimited string
var s: String = europeanCities.join(',');
// Split the string with delimiter as commas
europeanCities = s.split(',');
Since the subarray elements automatically will be joined with ',' regardless of join delimiter and our join delimiter is already ',' this will work.
But this solution is cpu intensive and not optimal.
I want to remove the first four indexes from the array using splice(), then rebuild the array starting at index 0. How do I do this?
Array.index[0] = 'one';
Array.index[1] = 'two';
Array.index[2] = 'three';
Array.index[3] = 'four';
Array.index[4] = 'five';
Array.index[5] = 'six';
Array.index[6] = 'seven';
Array.index[7] = 'eight';
Array.splice(0, 4);
Array.index[0] = 'five';
Array.index[1] = 'six';
Array.index[2] = 'seven';
Array.index[3] = 'eight';
I am accessing the array via a timer, on each iteration I want to remove the first four indexes of the array. I assumed splice() would remove the indexes then rebuild the array starting at 0 index. it doesn't, so instead what I have done is created a 'deleteIndex' variable, on each iteration a +4 is added to deleteIndex.
var deleteIndex:int = 4;
function updateTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
{
Array.splice(0,deleteIndex);
deleteIndex = deleteIndex + 4;
}
What type of object is "Array" in the code you have shown? The Flash Array object does not have a property named "index". The Array class is dynamic, which means that it let's you add random properties to it at run time (which seems to be what you are doing).
In any case, if you are using the standard Flash Array class, it's splice() method updates the array indexes automatically. Here is a code example that proves it:
var a:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];
trace("third element: ", a[2]); // output: 3
a.splice(2,1); // delete 3rd element
trace(a); // output: 1,2,4,5
trace(a.length); // ouput: 4
trace("third element: ", a[2]); // output: 4
If I am understanding what you want correctly, you need to use the unshift method of Array.
example :
var someArray:Array = new Array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
someArray.splice(0,4);
somearray.unshift(5,6,7,8);
Also, you are using the Array Class improperly, you need to create an instance of an array to work with first.
The question is confusing because you used Array class name instead of an instance of an array. But as the commenter on this post said, if you splice elements, it automatically re-indexes.
im not sure what you want to do, but Array=Array.splice(0,4) should fix somethin..
How to make a kind of array that index things based on a object? but not being strict like dictionary.
What I mean:
var a:Object = {a:3};
var b:Object = {a:3};
var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
dict[a] = 'value for a';
// now I want to get the value for the last assignment
var value = dict[b];
// value doesn't exits :s
How to make something like that. TO not be to heavy as a lot of data will be flowing there.
I have an idea to use the toString() method but I would have to make custom classes.. I would like something fast..
Why not make a special class that encapsulates an array, put methods in there to add and remove elements from the array, and then you could make a special method (maybe getValueByObject(), whatever makes sense). Then you could do:
var mySpecialArrayClass:MySpecialArrayClass = MySpecialArrayClass();
var a:Object = {a:3};
var b:Object = {a:3};
mySpecialArrayClass.addElement(a,'value for a');
var value = mySpecialArrayClass.getValueByObject(a);
I could probably cook up a simple example of such a class if you don't follow.
Update:
Would something like this help?

Update:
Could you use the === functionality? if you say
if ( object === object )
it compares the underlying memory address to see if two objects are the same reference...
