Evaluate Stride Object

eval_stride() evaluates a stride or formula object.
This can be handy to check exactly what parameters will be fed to the long_ methods.

formula2stride() converts a formula to a stride_seq or stride_ptrn object.

Usage

eval_stride(stride, x)

# Default S3 method
eval_stride(stride, x)

is.stride(x)

formula2stride(form, x)

Arguments

stride

see squarebrackets_stride.

x

a (long) atomic vector.

form

a formula, as described in squarebrackets_stride.

Value

Using stride_v()
The original stride object, but as a list.


Using stride_seq() or stride_ptr()
A list with at least the following elements:

start:
The actual starting point of the sequence.
This is simply from translated to regular numeric.

end:
The actual ending point of the sequence.
This is not the same as to.
For example, the following code:

seq(from = 1L, to = 10L, by = 2L)
#> [1] 1 3 5 7 9

specifies to = 10L.
But the sequence doesn't actually end at 10; it ends at 9.
Therefore, stride_seq(x, 1, 10, 2) |> eval_stride() will return end = 9, not end = 10.
This allows the user to easily predict where an sequence given in stride_seq/stride_ptrn will actually end.

len:
The actual vector length the sequence would be, given the translated parameters.

Examples

# extract all elements of x with the name "a":
nms <- c(letters, LETTERS, month.abb, month.name) |> rep_len(1e6)
x <- mutatomic(1:1e6, names = nms)
head(x)
#> a b c d e f 
#> 1 2 3 4 5 6 
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 
stride <-  stride_v(names(x), v = "a")
long_x(x, stride) |> head()
#>   a   a   a   a   a   a 
#>   1  77 153 229 305 381 
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 


# find all x smaller than or equal to 5, and replace with `-1000`:
stride <- stride_v(x, v = c(-Inf, 5))
long_set(x, stride, rp = -1000L)
head(x, n = 10)
#>     a     b     c     d     e     f     g     h     i     j 
#> -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000 -1000     6     7     8     9    10 
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 




x <- mutatomic(1:1e7)

# extract elements 2 to 9
long_x(x, ~ 2:9:1:1)
#> [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 

# reverse:
long_x(x, ~ 9:2:1:1)
#> [1] 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 

# remove all elements except the last 10:
long_x(x, ~ 1:(.N - 10):1:-1)
#>  [1]  9999991  9999992  9999993  9999994  9999995  9999996  9999997  9999998
#>  [9]  9999999 10000000
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 

# replace every other element:
x <- mutatomic(1:1e7)
long_set(x, ~ 2:.N:2:1, rp = -1)
#> coercing replacement to integer
head(x)
#> [1]  1 -1  3 -1  5 -1
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 

# replace all elements except the first element:
x <- mutatomic(1:1e7)
long_set(x, ~1:1:1:-1, rp = -1)
#> coercing replacement to integer
head(x)
#> [1]  1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer 


# extract pattern c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE) from first 20 elements:
x <- mutatomic(1:1e7)
long_x(x, ~ 1:20:c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE):1)
#>  [1]  1  4  5  8  9 12 13 16 17 20
#> mutatomic 
#> typeof:  integer
