Write float arrays to a text file

Revision as of 16:04, 29 October 2019 by Eoraptor (talk | contribs) (→‎{{header|R}}: not necessary to postprocess)

Write two equal-sized numerical arrays 'x' and 'y' to a two-column text file named 'filename'.

Task
Write float arrays to a text file
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

The first column of the file contains values from an 'x'-array with a given 'xprecision', the second -- values from 'y'-array with 'yprecision'.

For example, considering:

   x = {1, 2, 3, 1e11};
   y = {1, 1.4142135623730951, 1.7320508075688772, 316227.76601683791}; 
                                                          /* sqrt(x) */
   xprecision = 3;
   yprecision = 5;

The file should look like:

   1    1
   2    1.4142
   3    1.7321
   1e+011   3.1623e+005

This task is intended as a subtask for Measure relative performance of sorting algorithms implementations.

ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68 version Revision 1 - no extensions to language used
Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 1.18.0-9h.tiny

<lang algol68>PROC writedat = (STRING filename, []REAL x, y, INT x width, y width)VOID: (

 FILE f;
 INT errno = open(f, filename, stand out channel);
 IF errno NE 0 THEN stop FI;
 FOR i TO UPB x DO
   # FORMAT := IF the absolute exponent is small enough, THEN use fixed ELSE use float FI; #
   FORMAT repr x := ( ABS log(x[i])<x width | $g(-x width,x width-2)$ | $g(-x width,x width-4,-1)$ ),
          repr y := ( ABS log(y[i])<y width | $g(-y width,y width-2)$ | $g(-y width,y width-4,-1)$ );
   putf(f, (repr x, x[i], $" "$, repr y, y[i], $l$))
 OD;
 close(f)

);

  1. Example usage: #

test:(

 []REAL x = (1, 2, 3, 1e11);
 [UPB x]REAL y; FOR i TO UPB x DO y[i]:=sqrt(x[i]) OD;
 printf(($"x before:"$, $xg$, x, $l$));
 printf(($"y before:"$, $xg$, y, $l$));
 writedat("sqrt.dat", x, y, 3+2, 5+2);
 printf($"After:"l$);
 FILE sqrt dat;
 INT errno = open(sqrt dat, "sqrt.dat", stand in channel);
 IF errno NE 0 THEN stop FI;
 on logical file end(sqrt dat, (REF FILE sqrt dat)BOOL: stop);
 TO UPB x DO
   STRING line;
   get(sqrt dat, (line, new line));
   print((line,new line))
 OD

)</lang>

Output:

AWK

As usual, the order of array traversal in AWK is not necessarily the same as the input had: <lang awk>$ awk 'BEGIN{split("1 2 3 1e11",x); > split("1 1.4142135623730951 1.7320508075688772 316227.76601683791",y); > for(i in x)printf("%6g %.5g\n",x[i],y[i])}' 1e+11 3.1623e+05

   1 1
   2 1.4142
   3 1.7321</lang>

For the text file part of the task, just redirect stdout to it.

     NEXT
     
     xprecision = 3
     yprecision = 5
     
     outfile% = OPENOUT("filename.txt")
     IF outfile%=0 ERROR 100, "Could not create file"
     
     FOR i% = 0 TO 3
       @% = &1000000 + (xprecision << 8)
       a$ = STR$(x(i%)) + CHR$(9)
       @% = &1000000 + (yprecision << 8)

       PRINT #outfile%, a$ : BPUT #outfile%, 10

C

<lang c>#include <stdio.h>

  1. include <math.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

  float x[4] = {1,2,3,1e11}, y[4];
  int i = 0;
  FILE *filePtr;
  filePtr = fopen("floatArray","w");
  for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
     y[i] = sqrt(x[i]);
     fprintf(filePtr, "%.3g\t%.5g\n", x[i], y[i]);

to_a_text_file( File, Xs, Ys ) -> to_a_text_file( File, Xs, Ys, [] ).

to_a_text_file( File, Xs, Ys, Options ) -> Xprecision = proplists:get_value( xprecision, Options, 2 ), Yprecision = proplists:get_value( yprecision, Options, 2 ), Format = lists:flatten( io_lib:format("~~.~pg ~~.~pg~n", [Xprecision, Yprecision]) ), {ok, IO} = file:open( File, [write] ), [ok = io:fwrite( IO, Format, [X, Y]) || {X, Y} <- lists:zip( Xs, Ys)], file:close( IO ). </lang>

IDL

; the data:
x = [1,2,3,1e11]
y=sqrt(x)
xprecision=3
yprecision=5
 
; NOT how one would do things in IDL, but in the spirit of the task - the output format:
form = string(xprecision,yprecision,format='("(G0.",I0.0,",1x,G0.",I0.0,")")')
 
; file I/O:
openw,unit,"datafile.txt",/get
  for i = 1L, n_elements(x) do printf, unit, x[i-1],y[i-1],format=form
free_lun,unit

The file "datafile.txt" then contains the following:

<lang idl>1 1 2 1.4142 3 1.7321 1E+011 3.1623E+005</lang>

This is fairly ugly and un-IDLish. For example one shouldn't just rely on x and y having the same size. And if data is output in human-readable form, it should probably be lined up more nicely. And if it really has to be in two-column format with x and y side by side, one might consider running ASCII_Template or some such instead of that ugly hand-formatting.

J

<lang j>require 'files' NB. for fwrites

x =. 1 2 3 1e11 y =.  %: x NB. y is sqrt(x)

xprecision =. 3 yprecision =. 5

filename =. 'whatever.txt'

data =. (0 j. xprecision,yprecision) ": x,.y

data fwrites filename</lang>

Or, more concisely:

<lang j>((0 j. 3 5) ": (,.%:) 1 2 3 1e11) fwrites 'whatever.txt' [ require 'fwrites'</lang>

This loses all of the inline comments and names, and instead relies on the reader's understanding of the purpose of each of the names (for example: 3 is the precision of the first column, and 5 is the precision of the second column).

Note that J's idea of precision here is "positions after the decimal point":

<lang j> (0 j. 3 5) ": (,.%:) 1 2 3 1e11

The "transpose" function is used to flip the joined lists around so
that it's easier to iterate through them together.

       (o (open filename "write")))

RLaB

In RLaB this task can be done in two ways:

1. Direct writing of the numerical data to the file of an array using function writem. Here the writing format is specified using the global property that is accessible through function format. <lang RLaB> >> x = rand(10,1); y = rand(10,1); >> writem("mytextfile.txt", [x,y]); </lang>

2. Converting the numerical data to text, and then writing the text to the file, using the same function writem. Here, the writing format is specified through text function, and the result is written as a plain string matrix. <lang RLaB> >> x = rand(10,1); y = rand(10,1); >> s = text( [x,y], "%10.8f" ); >> writem("mytextfile.txt", s); </lang>

Please note, writem function in RLaB can operate in two-fold fashion. RLaB keeps track of the open files that were created using the built-in function open.

If user writes the data to a file using open followed by writem then RLaB opens the file in append mode if it already hasn't been opened. If it has been, then the command open is ignored (say in batch mode). Then, each successive call to writem appends newest data to the end of the file while keeping the file open. RLaB will close the file (and OS will flush its file buffer) upon the command close.

If user writes the data to a file by using only writem then the RLaB temporarily opens the file, writes the data to it, and then closes the file. Successive calls to writem in this mode will erase the previous content of the file.

ZX Spectrum Basic

The ZX Spectrum has a dedicated file format for floating point arrays. Although this format is not a text file, it would be the usual format for writing such data to a file on a ZX Spectrum. Here we write the contents of the array g() to a file:

<lang zxbasic>SAVE "myarray" DATA g()</lang>
