replace 1d array at specific point in 2D array

[ThijsBoeree]

Hi,

I have a 2D array with alot of information and only want to replace some data at a specific point... see image:

When i use replace subset i can only replace one element at a specific row and column...

Best regards,

So, use a loop. 😄

I think i allready got it... Without a loop!!

I use index array on the 2D array then i use replace array subset on the 1D array, here you can give an index and replace the 2D array again with the newly formed 1D array!

Hi Thijs,

yes, without a loop - but with a data copy in memory…

Programming such algorithms always has to consider more than just one parameter/side effect/limitation: computing speed, memory footprint, …

The correct solution is to change the small 1D array to a 2D array and use "replace array subset" with both indices wired.

It requires a 2D array such that the function know if it needs to replace going down or going right from the given index. It cannot deal with a 1D array directly, because the operation would be ambiguous.

Here's what I had in mind.

(If you want to replace down the column instead, simply add a transpose after the build array node.)

Wow that's a much nicer approach!
