Why doesn't this "binding" code work as expected in JavaFX? - javafx

I am new to JavaFX. I am not able to understand why the code below doesn't work.
import javafx.util.Sequences;
def nums = [1..10];
var curr = 0;
var evenOrOdd = bind if (nums[curr] mod 2 == 0) "{nums[curr]} is an even number" else "{nums[curr]} is an odd number";
for (curr in [0..(sizeof nums -1)])
{
println("{evenOrOdd}");
}
I am getting
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
1 is an odd number
If I change the code to
import javafx.util.Sequences;
def nums = [1..10];
var curr = 0;
var evenOrOdd = bind if (nums[curr] mod 2 == 0) "{nums[curr]} is an even number" else "{nums[curr]} is an odd number";
for (i in [0..(sizeof nums -1)])
{
curr = i;
println("{evenOrOdd}");
}
I get the correct output:
1 is an odd number
2 is an even number
3 is an odd number
4 is an even number
5 is an odd number
6 is an even number
7 is an odd number
8 is an even number
9 is an odd number
10 is an even number
Clearly, the counter increment in the loop is not treated as a value change and the bound expression is not re evaluated.
Can anyone please explain the concept behind this behavior?

The for expression implicitly defines its iteration variable (that's why you didn't need to declare i in your second example). Even if there is already a variable with the same name, for will still create a new one for its scope. Your bind expression is bound to the curr variable outside of your for loop, not to the one inside your for loop. And the one outside of your loop doesn't change, so the bound expression will not change.
Example to demonstrate this behaviour of for:
var curr = 0;
var ousideCurrRef = bind curr;
println("Before 'for' loop: curr={curr}");
for (curr in [0..3])
{
println("In 'for' loop: curr={curr} ousideCurrRef={ousideCurrRef}");
}
println("After 'for' loop: curr={curr}");
This will print:
Before 'for' loop: curr=0
In 'for' loop: curr=0 ousideCurrRef=0
In 'for' loop: curr=1 ousideCurrRef=0
In 'for' loop: curr=2 ousideCurrRef=0
In 'for' loop: curr=3 ousideCurrRef=0
After 'for' loop: curr=0
Thus the curr outside the for loop won't change if you modify a variable of the same name inside the for loop.

how would I delete item's in a dictionary within specific parameters?

for my code I want all numbers from a dictionary under 70 to be deleted, I'm unsure of how to specify this and I need it to also delete the associated name with that number as well, either that or only diplay numbers that are 70 or above.
Below is the code that I have in it's entirety:
name = []
number =[]
name_grade = {}
counter = 0
counter_bool= True
num_loop = True
while counter_bool:
stu = int(input("please enter the number of students: "))
if stu < 2:
print("value is too low, try again")
continue
else:
break
while counter != stu:
name_inp = str(input("Enter your name: "))
while num_loop:
number_inp = int(input("Enter your number: "))
if number_inp < 0 or number_inp > 100:
print("The value is too high or too low, please enter a number between 0 and 100.")
continue
else:
break
name_grade[name_inp] = number_inp
name.append(name_inp)
number.append(number_inp)
counter += 1
print(name_grade)
sorted_numbers = sorted(name_grade.items(), key= lambda x:x[1])
print(sorted_numbers)
if number > 70:
resorted_numbers = number < 70
print(resorted numbers)
how would I go about this?
Also if it's also not too much trouble could someone explain in detail about dictionary keys and how the lambda function I've used works? I got help but I would prefer to know the small details on how it's applied and formatted but don't worry if it's a pain to explain.
You can just iterate over the dictionary and filter for values less than 70:
resorted_numbers = {k:v for k,v in name_grade.items() if v<70}
dict.items method returns a list of key-value tuple pairs of a dictionary, so the lambda function is telling the sorted function to sort by the second element in each tuple.

Attempting a for loop in R

x <- 1:19
count <- 0
for (i in x) {
if atranspose * T5_5_FBEETLES[i, 3:6]>cutoff
count=count+1
}
print(count)
Hello, I am trying to do a for loop in R. In this for loop, I am multiplying a 1x4 matrix (atranspose in this case) and the third through sixth columns of a table (the table is T5_5_FBEETLES in this case) row by row (hence the i in x, so going through the first 19 rows) and I'm comparing it to a number with the variable name of cutoff. If the multiplication ends up with something greater than the cutoff number, I want count to increase by 1. I know from doing this by hand that by the end count should be 19, but for whatever reason my for loop returns 1 for my count variable and I keep getting these two errors:
unexpected symbol in:
"for (i in x) {
if atranspose"
unexpected '}' in "}"
Can anyone explain to me why these two errors are occurring, and how I can fix up my for loop so that it can return the correct count?
You are getting an error because your if statement crosses a line and thus needs some curly braces:
x <- 1:19
count <- 0
for (i in x) {
if (atranspose * T5_5_FBEETLES[i, 3:6]>cutoff) {
count=count+1
}
}
print(count)
This will then give you another error because the logical check of the if statement will return a vector, so it needs to be wrapped in an any:
x <- 1:19
count <- 0
for (i in x) {
if (any(atranspose * T5_5_FBEETLES[i, 3:6]>cutoff)) {
count=count+1
}
}
print(count)

Adding a counter to a loop

On a broad question that I haven't been able to find for R:
I'm trying to add a counter at the beginning of a loop.
So that when I run the loop sim = 1000:
if(hours$week1 > 1 and hours$week1 < 48) add 1 to the counter
ifelse add 0
I have came across counter tutorials that print a sentence to let you know where you are (if something goes wrong):
e.g
For (i in 1:1000) {
if (i%%100==0) print(paste("No work", i))
}
But the purpose of my counter is to generate a value output, measuring how many of the 1000 runs in the loop fall inside a specified range.
You basically had it. You just need to a) initialize the counter before the loop, b) use & instead of and in your if condition, c) actually add 1 to the counter. Since adding 0 is the same as doing nothing, you don't have to worry about the "else".
counter = 0
for (blah in your_loop_definition) {
... loop code ...
if(hours$week1 > 1 & hours$week1 < 48) {
counter = counter + 1
}
... more loop code ...
}
Instead of
if(hours$week1 > 1 & hours$week1 < 48) {
counter = counter + 1
}
you could also use
counter = counter + (hours$week1 > 1 && hours$week1 < 48)
since R is converting TRUE to 1 and FALSE to 0.
How about this?
count = 0
for (i in 1:1000) {
count = ifelse(i %in% 1:100, count + 1, count)
}
count
#> [1] 100
If your goal is just to monitor progression coarsely, and you're using Rstudio, a simple solution is to just refresh the environment tab to check the current value of i.

Go: pop from a map

Is there an existing function where we can pop a (key,value) pair from a map in GO? I use the word pop instead of remove because a pop would re-arrange the elements after the index where the (key,value) was removed.
As an example the following code:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
mapp := make(map[int]int)
fmt.Println("before removal:")
for i := 1; i < 7; i++ {
mapp[i] = i
}
fmt.Println(mapp)
delete(mapp, 2)
fmt.Println("\nafter the removal:")
for i := 1; i < 7; i++ {
fmt.Println(i, mapp[i])
}
}
Produces the following output:
before removal:
map[1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 6:6]
after the removal:
1 1
2 0
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
We notice that index location 2 is empty. I would like the output to be the following:
before removal:
map[1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 6:6]
after the removal:
1 1
2 3
3 4
4 5
5 6
Is this functionality already in Go or would I have to implement it?
I think that you are misunderstanding what a map is and how it works. You should not see it as an "array with gaps", but as a classic hash table.
And to answer your question, when you use delete(), the value is deleted from the map, the problem is how you iterate over the "values" of the map.
To help you understand:
mapp := make(map[int]int)
fmt.Println(2, mapp[2])
will print
2 0
Why ? Simply because when the requested key doesn't exist, we get the value type's zero value. In this case the value type is int, so the zero value is 0.
So, you want to see if a key exists in the map before printing it and you have to use two-value assignment, like that:
for i := 1; i < 7; i++ {
if value, exists := mapp[i]; exists {
fmt.Println(i, value)
}
}
and it will print
1 1
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
Not really what you want, but the closer you can get directly with maps.
You can have a look at this blog post for more information and examples.
If you really want to have an array where you can remove values, see Verran's answer and use slices instead.
From the Go documentation:
When iterating over a map with a range loop, the iteration order is not specified and is not guaranteed to be the same from one iteration to the next.
From this, it follows that there would be no way to automatically move a value up one position to fill a gap, since the key can be in a different iteration position each time you look at the values and theres no guarantee that the value mapped to 2 will slide up to 1.
If you want to do something like this, you will have to manually shift everything down one key value, something like:
for key := 2; key < len(map)-1; key++ {
map[key] = map[key+1]
}
Alternatively, you could use slices and if you know the index you need to "pop", create a new slice that omits the value:
value := slice[2]
slice = copy(slice[:2], slice[2+1:])

R while loop and number of times

got a while loop going, and that's working fine.
However I also need to add another condition.
I need the loop to keep going until it satisfies the while loop, but then I also need to add that this can only get repeated x times.
I think you would have to make a for loop to do x times, is it possible to put a while loop in this?
Basically how can I make a loop either reach the goal or stop after x loops??
The expression in while needs to be TRUE for the loop to continue. You can use | or & to add extra conditions. This loop runs 99 times or until sum of random variables is less than 100.
counter <- 0
result <- 0
while(counter < 100 | sum(result) < 100) {
result <- sum(result, rnorm(1, mean = 5, sd = 1))
counter <- sum(counter, 1)
}
> result
[1] 101.5264
> counter
[1] 21
Just pass the current iterator value as an argument to your function. That way you can break the recursion if that reaches a particular value.
But why do you have a while loop if you use recursion, for example:
add_one_recursive = function(number) {
number = number + 1
cat("New number = ", number, "\n")
if(number > 10) {
return(number)
} else {
return(add_one_recursive(number))
}
}
final_number = add_one_recursive(0)
New number = 1
New number = 2
New number = 3
New number = 4
New number = 5
New number = 6
New number = 7
New number = 8
New number = 9
New number = 10
New number = 11
Does not require an explicit loop at all.
