How can i make a list of cumulative sum of a other list?
i tried it that way:
;;all temperatrue-values around the turtle saved in list
set temperature_values (list [(output-heat + 1)^ Freedom] of neighbors)
;;build cumulative value of temperatures and put each value in list
let tempsum 0
set tempsum_list []
foreach temperature_values
[set tempsum (tempsum + ? )
set tempsum_list fput tempsum tempsum_list
]
but it doesn't work. can anyone fix this problem? it says that "+ excepted a input but gets a list instead".
your code for a cumulative sum works (except that I think you need lput
rather than fput
. You can see it with this:
to test
let ll [1 2 3 4]
let tempsum 0
let tempsum_list []
foreach ll
[ set tempsum (tempsum + ? )
set tempsum_list lput tempsum tempsum_list
]
print tempsum_list
end
Did the error highlight the line set temperature_values (list [(output-heat + 1)^ Freedom] of neighbors)
? Try putting a space after between ) and ^. NetLogo is picky about space around mathematical operators.
As Jen suggested, you can use foreach
. Another nice approach is reduce:
to-report partial-sums [#lst]
set #lst (fput [0] #lst) ;;prepare for reduce
report butfirst reduce [lput (?2 + last ?1) ?1] #lst
end
This is like Alan's solution, just abstracted a bit further. (Perhaps too far, depending on your taste! I like JenB's solution as well.)
Let's first define a thing like reduce
, but that keeps all the intermediate results:
to-report scan [fn xs]
report reduce [lput (runresult fn ?2 last ?1) ?1]
(fput (list first xs) butfirst xs)
end
Now we can use it to compute partial sums:
observer> show scan task + [1 2 3 4 5]
observer: [1 3 6 10 15]
but we are also free to swap in a different operation:
observer> show scan task * [1 2 3 4 5]
observer: [1 2 6 24 120]
Similar to Alan's solution (Just an update for the recent version of NetLogo that replaces ? with -> for anonymous procedures.)
to-report partial-sums [lst]
report butfirst reduce [[result-so-far next-item] -> lput (next-item + last
result-so-far) result-so-far] fput [0] lst
end
