New to VEX and i have a question on arrays.
Is there a way to take the values from Array2 and push()them into Array1, but only if the value in Array2 doesn't already exist in Array1, preventing duplicates? (Ill be using in a solver, finding more and more points as it progresses)
I've figured out a way to do the reverse (see below)- Comparing Array1 and Array2, pushing the duplicates to a separate array and then using this to remove the values from a combined Array1&2 - but this seem a but long winded or inefficient?
i[]@pointsArray1 = {0,2,7,8,10}; i[]@pointsArray2 = {0,3,5,7,8,11,15,16,10}; i[]@newArray; //Compare both arrays and extract the duplicate values foreach (int num; i[]@pointsArray1){ for(int i = 0; i<len(i[]@pointsArray2);i++){ if(num == i[]@pointsArray2[i]){ push(i[]@newArray,i[]@pointsArray2[i]); } } } //Combine both arrays into one push(i[]@pointsArray1,i[]@pointsArray2); //Take the know duplicates and remove from the combined array for(int i = 0; i<len(i[]@newArray);i++){ removevalue(i[]@pointsArray1,i[]@newArray[i]); }
Any thoughts much appreciated
yes of course! that does make more sense - thanks
