Create vector from array of data

Create vector from array of data

Hi......

I am attempting to create a single vector from a two column array. The fist column contains the values  and the second column the occurrences associated with each value. I have attached a worksheet , in MathCAD 15,  that shows what i am attempting to do. I can solve the problem by performing each row of the array separately but hit a snag when trying to program the same. Would appreciate help in solving the program error I have.

Thanks in advance for help

Hear must be the for cycle too!

There are several things wrong in your program.

1.

The operation of your 'for' loop is that it assigns to 'j' the values 0  up to N-1 subsequently.

You tear that down by immediately inside the loop assigning 0 to 'j' with 'j<-0'; no matter which run of the 'for' loop you're in, 'j' is always 0 inside. This makes 'k' to be a range from 0,1...Occur 0-1. It is also not necessary to increment ('j<-j+1')  at the end of the loop, because that is also implied in the 'for' loop operation. In your case it assigns j+1=0+1=1 to j. So j becomes 1. Always.

2.

The index into an array for assignment must be an integer, cannot be a range. That's why you get an error flagged at the assignment to 'Val k'.

3.

The stack() function is useless when called with a single argument. Stack() wants to stack (at least) two things; 'stack(Val)' just gives 'Val'.

My guess is that you're after something like this:

Correction. This, I think, is what you're trying to do:
