I have a beginner question for which I cannot find the answer after quite
some searching.
type MyType
a::Array{Float64,1}
end
# Fill an array with "independent" instances of MyType. (By the way, is
there a shorter way to do this?)
MyType_Vec = Array(MyType, 3);
for i in eachindex(MyType_Vec)
MyType_Vec[i] = MyType([0.0]);
end
MyType_Vec
# Change the value of MyType_Vec[1].a[1] to 2.
MyType_Vec[1].a[1] = 2;
MyType_Vec
# Shuffle the vector but with repeated elements
MyType_Vec = MyType_Vec[[1,3,1]];
# Change the value of MyType_Vec[1].a[1] to 4.
MyType_Vec[1].a[1] = 4;
MyType_Vec
# The value of MyType_Vec[3].a[1] also changed to 4.
How can I avoid this reference behaviour? I want that, after the shuffling
step, the 3 elements of MyType_Vec should be "independent" so that if I
change MyType_Vec[1].a[1] nothing else is affected. I have tried copy and
deepcopy without success.
I would be very happy if someone could help me out. I'm stuck...
Many thanks in advance.
