3D array arithmetic. (3Dx-1 Element)

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question which I have yet to find the answer for anywhere else.
I have a 3 dimensional array that contains one element per dimension. I want to be able to square these elements then add them together. I have accomplished the squaring by using the polymorphic functionality of the square function. Now I want to add all 3 elements ( one element per dimension) into one scalar type. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Cheers!

Thanks Darin! Very helpful. I can not believe I missed that before. 
I apologize for the crude explanation before. I was wrong, the proper way to describe this would be a  3D "1 X 1 X 1" array.
I have been programming for about a year in LabVIEW. Unfortunately, this year of programming have been very specific up until now, and with no formal training I tend to skip, or overthink problems like these. (Even though there is a built in function)
Thanks for the help.
Have a great day.

  • Is it possible for an Array to have zero element??

    As the subject stated, is it possible for an Array to have zero element apart from being null??
    because if I dont assign an Array to any amount of elements, the Array is always null. And, that is the reason why I never see Array.length being zero.
    Any body can explain??

    As the subject stated, is it possible for an Array to
    have zero element apart from being null??Well, let's see. new int[1] creates an array with one element, so if it IS possible to have an array with zero elements, how do you suppose you'd do that?
    Okay, right.
    Now, what happened when you put that into a .java file and compiled it?
    because if I dont assign an Array to any amount of
    elements, the Array is always null.If you don't assign a reference to an array to your array variable, (i.e. myArr = ... then it will be null (if it's a member variable, but undefined if it's a local).
    But null and empty are not the same thing. Remember, there's your variable, and there's the array it points to.
    Why do you think that the array it points to must have >= 1 elements?
    I'm not saying it's okay to have zero elemnts. And I'm not saying it's not.
    I'm asking you to examine your logic for why you think zero elements is not possible (said logic is faulty). And then I'm asking you to do an experiment to test your theory.
    And, that is the
    reason why I never see Array.length being zero.If you never see array.length being zero, it's because none of the arrays you looked at had zero elments. That doesn't tell you that arrays can't have zero elements.
    So far, you have neither theory nor observations to support either view.

  • Lots of blank space when printing array with only last element printed

    I have a slight problem I have been trying to figure it out for days but can't see where my problem is, its probably staring me in the face but just can't seem to see it.
    I am trying to print out my 2 dimensional array outdie my try block. Inside the trying block I have two for loops in for the arrays. Within the second for loop I have a while to put token from Stringtokeniser into my 2 arrays. When I print my arrays in this while bit it prints fine however when I print outside the try block it only print the last element and lots of blank space before the element.
    Below is the code, hope you guys can see the problem. Thank you in advance

             System.out.print(flights [j]);
    //System.out.println();

    A number of problems.
    First, I bet you see a lot of "error at" messages, don't you? You create a 21x7 array, then go through the first array up to 21, going through the second one all the way to 21 as well.
    your second for loop should go to flights[x].length, not flights.length. That will eliminate the need for ArrayIndexOutOfBounds checking, which should have been an indication that you were doing something wrong.
    Second, when you get to flights[0][0] (the very first iteration of the inner loop) you are taking every element from the StringTokenizer and setting flights[0][0] to each, thereby overwriting the previous one. There will be nothing in the StringTokenizer left for any of the other (21x7)-1=146 array elements. At the end of all the loops, the very first element in the array (flights[0][0]) should contain the last token in the file.
    At the end, you only print the first element (i=0, j=0, println(flight[ i][j])) which explains why you see the last element from the file.
    I'm assuming you have a file with 21 lines, each of which has 7 items on the line. Here is some pseudo-code to help you out:
    count the lines
    reset the file
    create a 2d array with the first dimension set to the number of lines.
    int i = 0;
    while (read a line) {
      Tokenize the line;
      count the tokens;
      create an array whose size is the number of tokens;
      stuff the tokens into the array;
      set flights[i++] to this array;
    }

  • Show vertical scrollbar when 1D array only shows one element

    When showing only one element of one dimensional array, only the horizontal scrollbar can be displayed.  The vertical scrollbar visible option is greyed out.  Even using property nodes does not make it visible.  I have an array of clusters with many controls in each cluster that are aranged hozizontally across the front panel.  I'd like the user to see only one element (one set of controls) at a time and be able to scroll through them using a vertical scollbar.

    I think Brent's suggestion is very good.  Another hack would be to cover the additional array elements with a decoration so that you only see one element.

  • MSGraph maximum array size is 3999 elements

    I just spent a couple of hours debugging and it seems that 2D array size in MSGraph cannot exceed 3999 elements. I am using MS Office 11 beta2 and office reporting toolkit. Some of my data sets were larger than 3999 and I was getting cryptic error messages. NI search did not yield any additional info so I am posting this for future searches. NI could have added some error checking if this really a case.
    Any ideas on how to easily plot arrays larger than that.
    Thanks

    I have never used MSGraph, but I recently used Excel 2000 to graph a chart that was 10000 by 3. This should solve your problem (unless, of course, I have misunderstood it--let me know).

  • Help get the array number fo a element

    Hi
    1. This program does the following: Ask for three numbers, print them in a row and show the largest number of the three.
    2. I also would like the program to: Print out the position of the array, whre the largest number is. Please give me a hint where to begin.
    import java.util.*;
    public class Ovning5 {
         public static void main (String [] arg) {
              Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
              int [] numbers = new int [3]; // New array
              int x; // Numbers in array
              int largestNumber; // Largest number in the array
              // Ask for numbers
              System.out.print("Put in (three) numbers");
              for (x=0; x<numbers.length; x++) {
                   numbers[x]=scan.nextInt ();
              // Print numbers in a row     
              for (x=0; x<numbers.length; x++) {
                   System.out.print (numbers[x]+ " ");
              // Put a new line before next function
              System.out.println (); {     
                   // Find the largest number     
                   largestNumber = 0; // Set the highest number to 0
                   for (x=0; x<numbers.length; x++) { // Use the first number in the array.
                        if (x == 0) {
                             largestNumber = numbers[0];
                        // if the current number we're
                        // looking at in the array is bigger than the highest number,
                        // set the highest number to this current number
                        if (numbers[x] > largestNumber) {
                             largestNumber = numbers[x];
                   }     // Close new line function
                // Print out the largest number
                   System.out.println("The biggest number is " + largestNumber);
    }

    "As you iterate over the array, looking for the largest element, keep track of the index of the largest element as well as it's value. Whenever you set the largest to array[n], also store n."
    It took a while to figure out, but it is something like this you meen :)
    // Find the largest number and the position in the array     
                   largestNumber = 0; // Set the highest number to 0
                   for (x=0; x<numbers.length; x++) { // Use the first number in the array.
                        if (x == 0) {
                             largestNumber = numbers[0];
                        // if the current number we're
                        // looking at in the array is bigger than the highest number,
                        // set the highest number to this current number
                        if (numbers[x] > largestNumber) {
                             largestNumber = numbers[x];
                             y=x; // Since we look at all the numbers in the loop
                             // and we started from zero, y is going to be compared to xDo you think my comments make sense?

  • My array is erroneously adding elements (help!!!)

    I have an array of clusters that I am using as a list of commands.
    1. I run the program and bring the Edit Tab to the front.
    2. I add several new elements by giving values to the servo (first on left).
    3. Once I have several elements in, I increase the index to scroll them up.
    4. When I do this, new elements are added to my array.
    I can't find any reason for this in my code. Hope someone else can help me figure out the problem.

    The bluish line in the array indicated that a "selection" (for copying or deleting, etc.) has been made. With the arrow tool right click on the arrays index, select "Advanced" and "show selection" will be checked. Haven't figured out what effect that might have though.

  • Comparing an element of an array with the previous element in that array.

    First post, please let me know if there's anything I should do differently.
    I'm grabbing a scope measurement in the form of a triangle waveform, and want only the parts of it with a positive differential - essentially a sawtooth. The waveform is stored in a one-dimensional array. Also, there is no way for me to trigger the measurement, so there is likely an incomplete bit of waveform before the first lowest value.
    To prepare the data I decided to do two things:
    -Cycle through the array and delete everything until I find the first lowest value.
    -Save the values from lowest to highest, then delete everything until the next lowest value. Do this n times.
    Does anyone have any good examples of cycling through an array in such a manner, or is there simply an easier way of going about it?

    Thank you very much for the response!
    Unfortunately I don't have any code to post at the moment, but you can assume the input would be an array of voltage values that comprise a triangle wave. Good suggestion about the array min/max function, however I forsee a potential issue with it.
    It's possible that the triangle wave won't be 'perfect.' That is, the voltage of one peak or valley might not be exactly identical as measured from one to the other. It would be really nice if I could count on them to be identical, then I could min/max and just search for the min and max values. If I min/max, it's possible I could come up with a point at the middle or end of my waveform and lose useful data before it. There are two likely scenarios for the start of the waveform, so...
    -We start on the downward slope of the triangle wave somewhere in the middle of it.
    if array[x+1] is less than array[x], delete array[x]. If it's not, exit the loop.
    -We start on the upward slope of the triangle wave somewhere in the middle of it.
    This one is tougher. I could use Min/Max and make the determination based on how close to the min value we are within some margin of error.
    -We could start exactly on the peak or valley of the triangle, but this is very unlikely with the number of measurements taken.
    Is there a min/max that would allow for some margin of error?

  • Please help - I can not create large arrays of images (no more than 108 elements)

    Hello,
    I am working in an application where i acquire 300 high resolution images (3Mp) and then i process each of those frames.
    When i try to put alll those frames in one array of images, the system does not let me more than 108 elements. There is no such message like out of memory or memory error. It is just that when i visualize the array of images, there are good frames the first 108 elements, and then white frames the rest of the elements.
    Ideallically i would prefer to process frames as i am acquiring them, but i am concerned about the remaining processing time for the rest of the tasks.
    Then, as an alternative, I have tried to store frames in two shorter arrays, and i ended up observing that when the first array (say 50 elements) is full and the second array starts (another 50 elements for example), labview needs a certain time in the the middle (like three seconds between closing first array and starting acquiring on the second array). If i dont wait that time between arrays, both arrays contain the same information. I know, this is weird, and i know about the fact of passing information by reference on imaq images. 
    The most interesting thing is that when i reduce considerably the resolution of the image (say that now, instead 3Mp they are 2Mp), the maximum number of elements on the arrays are exactly the same: 108, so this makes me wonder if it is a memory constrain. And the code is fairly simple, there is no way that i am cutting the acquisition at the number 108.
    So my question is, How can i put 300 frames in one just one array? or How can eliminate the time i have to wait between arrays?
    I have heard about memory allocation and so, but i am not sure how to proceed. I have windows 7.
    Thanks in advance,
    Roberto

    It's hard to visualize.  Please post the code - or at least a shell representing your code - so we can see what is happening.  Are you sure you are getting 108 contiguous pictures, or are some aquisitions being skipped?  Is the first picture in the array the first aqcuisition?  Is the last picture the last acquisition?
    I really don't think it is about memory allocation.  I think it could be about your method of acquiring and processing said acquisitions.

    I still need to store it in an array because its 300 elements in the XML stocks.
    I've done the following but its not working, i'm getting error codes. I think its an easy fix. I'd also like to pass a String instead of a .xml document b/c my xml is stored inside a DB. Any suggestions on that?
