Hello everyone,
First of all, let me thank all involved with the Rcpp package!
I just have a (maybe silly) question, but I struggle with this frequently
in my codes:
Range() vs IntegerVector
One example is when I need a reverse index, like R's 10:1, so I had to
write my own function that returns an IntegerVector. But, to work I have to
do this ugly code:
IntegerVector dot_rev_idxs1 = ::seq((i - 1), beginidx);
IntegerVector dot_rev_idxs2 = ::seq((idx_nn - 1), (beginidx +
idx_diff));
IntegerVector dot_rev_idxs3 = ::seq((i - 1 + window_size), (
beginidx + window_size));
IntegerVector dot_rev_idxs4 = ::seq((idx_nn - 1 + window_size), (
beginidx + idx_diff + window_size));
dotproduct[dot_rev_idxs1] = (NumericVector)((NumericVector)cumsum(
data[dot_rev_idxs1] * data[dot_rev_idxs2] -
data[dot_rev_idxs3] * data[dot_rev_idxs4]) +
dotproduct[i]);
I frequently have to cast the results with (NumericVector)...
This also happens using Range(). But there is a difference if I use Range()
this way: my_vector[Range(0,10)]; or Range range = Range(0,
10); my_vector[range];
How is the proper way to deal with it?
Other question: as<NumericVector() doesn't 'cast' right? Does it try to
'convert' formats?
And finally, I see that Matlab has a unique way to deal with ranges:
Ex.:
1) (1:10) --> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
2) (10:1) --> returns a vector with size zero
3) (10:-1:1) --> 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Range() shouldn't at least reproduce the R's counterpart and accept Range(10,1)
== 10:1?
Thanks in advance!
