Updating input parameter over iteration

Community Support

Hi,

I was wondering if there’s a way to run a function over x number of iterations and also update a second value based on the function’s output.

For e.g.

summer:{[ID;y;z] y:y+z; ID:ID+1}
{summer[x;y;z]}[;2;2]/[{x<750};0]

Currently this runs for 750 iterations however y and z are set to 2 on input so y always equals 4, I have checked this using namespaces. 

Is there a way to include another over somewhere so that y will run like 2+2=4, 4+2=6… for 750 iterations?

Any help appreciated!!

PS. The code is being used within peach, that’s why I can’t just use namespaces or a global variable to upsert into.

Is the / for of do what you are looking for?

q)750 +/2 2 754

Hey, thanks for the reply.

So I think the above is quite close however it only allows you run sum, not appending to iteration id as required.

Following similar to above:
q)summer1:{[x;y] .m.x:x; x:x+y}

q)750 summer1[;2]/2;
q).m.x
1500

 

I’m probably missing something obvious but is there a way to manipulate this to append to ID per iteration so that:
q)summer:{[ID;y;z] y:y+z;.m.id:.m.id,ID;.m.y:y; ID:ID+1}

q).m.y

1500 (as above)

q).m.ID

750 (missing piece)

 

Thanks again!

Something more like:

q)750{(x[0]+1;x[1]+x[2];x[2])}/0 0 2 750 1500 2

Or use a dictionary for readability: 

q)750{x[ID]+:1;x[y]:sum xyz;x}/IDy`z!0 0 2 ID| 750 y | 1500 z | 2

The very one.  

Fair play and thanks!
