Hi, first time poster, new J user. I cannot figure out how to do a certain sorta algorithm in J without a for loop. I have an array of data: a1=: 10 7 8 3 5
and the other to be calculated iteratively, except for the first value which is already known. a2=: 6 So I need to take the 6 and pair it with 10, do some calculations append the new number to the end of a2. I used this function to do this GetEWMAData =: monad : 'for_x. }.SubGroupedData do. EWMAData=:EWMAData, (lambda*x)+((1-lambda)*({:EWMAData)) end.' where lambda is 0.2, SubGroupedData is a1 here and EWMAData is a2, getting updated by appending the new number to the end of the list. Is there a way to do this without having the reassigning EWMAData itself with something appended to it, and using a for loop? Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
