Hello Uhm you have an array containing 3 tuples? If all the arrays have same length, you can just zip all of them, creatings a list of tuples then you can scan the list 5 by 5...?
so something like (Array(0)_2,Array(1)._2,Array(2)._2).zipped.toList this will give you a list of tuples of 3 elements containing each items from ID1, ID2 and ID3 ... sample below res: List((18159,100079,308703), (308703, 19622, 54477), (72636,18159, 89366)..........) then you can use a recursive function to compare each element such as def iterate(lst:List[(Int, Int, Int)]):T = { if (lst.isEmpty): /// return your comparison else { val splits = lst.splitAt(5) // do sometjhing about it using splits._1 iterate(splits._2) } will this help? or am i still missing something? kr On 24 Jul 2016 5:52 pm, "janardhan shetty" <janardhan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Array( > (ID1,Array(18159, 308703, 72636, 64544, 39244, 107937, 54477, 145272, > 100079, 36318, 160992, 817, 89366, 150022, 19622, 44683, 58866, 162076, > 45431, 100136)), > (ID3,Array(100079, 19622, 18159, 212064, 107937, 44683, 150022, 39244, > 100136, 58866, 72636, 145272, 817, 89366, 54477, 36318, 308703, 160992, > 45431, 162076)), > (ID2,Array(308703, 54477, 89366, 39244, 150022, 72636, 817, 58866, 44683, > 19622, 160992, 107937, 100079, 100136, 145272, 64544, 18159, 45431, 36318, > 162076)) > ) > > I need to compare first 5 elements of ID1 with first five element of ID3 > next first 5 elements of ID1 to ID2.
