Subject description: Possible to chuck a 2D array into a specific location on third dimension of 3D array?
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Hi everybody. I'm new to this forum, this is my first post. I've found a few helpful posts about ChucK here -- thanks. I'm relatively new to ChucK also (have been learning it for a couple months), and programming in general.

My question concerns multidimensional arrays (3D arrays, specifically). I'm trying to better understand how write to them.

My basic question is: is it possible to chuck a 2D array to a specific location along the third dimension (i.e. not either of the two dimension of the 2D array being chucked) of a 3D array?

I was having trouble understanding how to write to / access different dimensions of a 3D array, so I did some tests to figure it out. Here's my test:

Code:

[ [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16],
[17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],

[[33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48],
[49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]] ] @=> int A[][][];

<<<"A[0][0][0]: ",A[0][0][0]>>>;
<<<"A[0][1][0]: ",A[0][1][0]>>>;
<<<"A[0][1][1]: ",A[0][1][1]>>>;

<<<"A[1][0][0]: ",A[1][0][0]>>>;
<<<"A[1][1][0]: ",A[1][1][0]>>>;
<<<"A[1][1][1]: ",A[1][1][1]>>>;

150 @=> A[1][2][0];

<<<"A[1][2][0]: ",A[1][2][0]>>>;



The program prints the following:

Code:

[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 1 (3D matrix tests.ck)...
A[0][0][0]:  1
A[0][1][0]:  17
A[0][1][1]:  18
A[1][0][0]:  33
A[1][1][0]:  49
A[1][1][1]:  50
A[1][2][0]:  150



So far so good. I understand how to instantiate the array in 3 dimensions. I understand how chuck refers to the different positions in the array. I understand how to read specific location in the array. And I understand how to write to the array, two different ways. The way I think of the first method used here is that I'm sending a couple of different 2D arrays to a 3D array. The second method sends a specific value to a specific location in the array.

But what if, later on, I want to send another 2D array to the 3D array? Is there a way to reference a specific position along the 3rd dimension (or 1st dimension, however you think about it), and send a 2D array to it? I can't seem to figure anything out.

I tried the following:

Code:

[[65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80],
[81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]] @=> A[2][][];


But I get a syntax error on the last line.

I also tried this:

Code:

[[65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80],
[81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]] @=> A[2][0][0];


But that produces the following error:

Code:

[3D matrix tests.ck]:line(63): cannot assign '@=>' on types 'int[][]' @=> 'int'...
[3D matrix tests.ck]:line(63): ...(reason: --- incompatible types for assignment


Any ideas? Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? Am I making sense?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of "@=> A[2][][]" write "@=> A[2]".

You can see a 3d matrix as an array of matrixes, a matrix of arrays, or an array of arrays of arrays. When you are writing the 2d matrix, you are really just storing an element in the "outermost" array.

Thanks! Your solution didn't seem to work for me though. I tried it and got an "array out of bounds" message.

Here's the entire test program:

Code:

[ [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16],

[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]] @=> A[2];


Here's what it printed:

Code:

A[0][0][0]:  1
A[0][1][0]:  17
A[0][1][1]:  18

A[1][1][0]:  49
A[1][1][1]:  50
A[1][2][0]:  150
[chuck](VM): ArrayOutofBounds: in shred[id=1:3D matrix tests.ck], PC=[896], index=[2]


Any thoughts? Conceptually, your description of how multidimensional arrays work is making sense to me. But the implementation you suggested isn't working (unless I'm missing something).

Yeah sorry, to write to the third element (index 2) in the first dimension (root array) you have to allocate memory for it first, or use the dynamic array stuff that increases the size of the array as you add stuff to it. I can't do the research now, but I think there are examples for dynamically adding array elements shipped with ChucK.

The alternative is to allocate enough memory at the start. I'm not sure, but you might be able to change the last line for setting up A to:

Code:
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],
[] ] @=> int A[][][];


adding an empty array that you can replace by writing to A[2] later. Or try initalizing A like this:

int A[3][][];

(Edit: i.e. don't set the contents next to the matrix declaration using @=>, set them later)

and then write each matrix to A[0], A[1] and A[2].

I haven't compiled this, but it should work. Experiment and look at the stuff in ChucK's examples folder. :)
