I will not rate an appreciation on the technical side. I think it is fine if we can have different functionality and logics because they will be complementary. A set of basic instructions provides a methodology while a function allows the execution speed and a dense coding. I do not know when or if ...

Hi JohnM This one is not the best implementation (your specifications does ot need keys, just indices) Much slower(*), consummes memory and requires a library (https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26533), BETA state. Depending on what you expect to do you might appreciate using it...

Hello Tourist Trap. I want to enjoy a little time to share my feelings. I am not a c developer, and coding time is a little behind me (at the professional level). But from my past experience in IT service company, I kept the taste for design. At that time, creating an index was a right click on the ...

@Juergen Kuehlwein "I´m still looking for a way to have a consistent and flexible syntax using keywords and optional parameters as well. " If I had to design an instruction set for arrays in conjunction with my programming style, it should meet the following criteria: ease, flexibility, an...

@fxm : Thanks a lot . I now have a better idea of how I perhaps could proceed. I'll make some try using integer Ptr. @speedfixer : about implementation. You're right. For years, I rather tried to guess how the underlying treatments were organized rather than looking at the solutions. A huge waste of...

As usual, I am completely dumped by the technical level of Dodicat's code. I did some tests at my level, and these codes are interesting for me to better understand the very basic implementation: This code shows that for strings (variable lenght) data are referenced via pointers Dim As String s(1 To...

The perfect code that does everything does not exist. The algorithm to work on a huge table will not be the same as that for a multitude of small hierarchical tables in a tree if only because of the heaviness of loading the libraries. Tourist Trap mentioned a point I think is crucial about the impor...

All this brings me to the ideas developping array-extensions dedicated to a context oriented database. So less rapid on the pure calculation but heavier on average data sets, and rather dedicated to the manipulation of high volumes. For this purpose, a low level feature seem useful to me: array_AllO...

@Juergen Kuehlwein, Iczer To illustrate my point the code below (RAD). Multi-level work would be done and little time on my side too.. Any suggestion/request will be welcome #Include once "D:\Basic\LZLE_FBsite.bi" Dim Shared GarbageCollector As List Dim Shared WorkingIndex As List WorkingI...

The array type has the advantage of proposing a fast and comprehensible structure of the information filling relatively little space in memory and which can serve as a technical basis for the matrix calculation and many others (statistics, R language). In addition, the speed is very fast because the...

I remember a web article that explained a practical way by simple schemas & exemples the algorithm & method to implement to optimize search in a table using vectors on matrix, without having to stuff (too much) the theoretical maths, so I did a quick search, impossible to find it neither som...

@Juergen Kuehlwein : "The more a fast searching function scanning the whole array (or parts of it) for a value would be of help." I am not convinced of the interest of a search function of keywords in a table, except for low to medium volumetrics and for not too dynamic operations. Indeed,...

A coding contest on a topic already discussed would be good too. Personally, I appreciate very much FreeBasic because of its "scalar" character: it is possible to use a syntax 'RAD' compliant with the spirit of the historical Basic, while at the same time, going towards closer construction...

Even though I would probably not participate due to lack of time or dedicated skills, I like the idea. Hard to find an original theme.

Hello. I'm back. I developed the LZLE project (a library for manipulating lists) with the idea of ​​using it later as a step towards NoSQL technologies. Creating an original NoSQL engine in FreeBasic would be a long-term project, condemned to a follower role. See as a professional and industrialized...
