Adding, multiplying array

Hi.

I want to multply all elements of two arrays and add that to all elements of
the third array like this:

c+=a*b

c=[1,1,1]
a=[2,2,2]
b=[3,3,3]

c=[7,7,7] # (1+2*3)=7

I tried (found on google):

a.zip(b).map {|i,j| i*j} (don't really know how that works)

and how to add that to c array ?

Thanks

c=[1,1,1]
a=[2,2,2]
b=[3,3,3]

c=[7,7,7] # (1+2*3)=7

How about a very simple each_index approach?

c.each_index { |i| c[i] += a[i] * b[i] }

=> [7, 7, 7]

Hope that helps,
Michael

zip weaves two enumerables together and creates a new enumerable:

a.zip(b) # => [[2, 3], [2, 3], [2, 3]]

[[2, 3], [2, 3], [2, 3]].map {|i,j| i*j}

takes each sub-array, multiplies the two elements and returns a new
array with the products which produces [6, 6, 6]

and how to add that to c array ?

Just use zip and map again with a block which adds the elements.

c = c.zip(a.zip(b).map {|i, j| i*j}).map {|i, j|i + j}

Which changes the variable c to reference a new array which turns out
to be [7, 7, 7]

require 'pp'
d=
a.each_with_index{|o, i| d[i] = a[i] + b[i] * c[i] };
pp d

And if you're going to be doing this kind of thing a lot, you might like
to generalize the repeated zip -> map operation:

class Array
  def combine(other, method)
    zip(other).map {|x,y| x.send(method,y)}
  end
end

c = [1,1,1]
a = [2,2,2]
b = [3,3,3]

c = a.combine(b, :*).combine(c, :+)
#=> [7,7,7]

:slight_smile: I'm sure there's a cleaner way... m.

zip weaves two enumerables together and creates a new enumerable:

a.zip(b) # => [[2, 3], [2, 3], [2, 3]]

[[2, 3], [2, 3], [2, 3]].map {|i,j| i*j}

This is true only if you do not provide a block:

irb(main):007:0> a = Array.new 5 do |i| i end
=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
irb(main):008:0> b = Array.new 5 do |i| i * 2 end
=> [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
irb(main):009:0> a.zip(b) {|x,y| printf "%d - %d\n",x,y}
0 - 0
1 - 2
2 - 4
3 - 6
4 - 8
=> nil

Kind regards

Since you don't use the 'o' block variable, you can also use
Array#each_index (which is what I used in my first reply to this
thread).

c.each_index { |i| c[i] += a[i] * b[i] }
