Setting values in functions can be done in a couple of ways. It also depends on whether the variable being set is dependent or not.
Setting independent variables
var x = new Variable<Int32>();
x.SetValues(new[]{1,2,3}); // adds the values 1,2,3 to the variable x
x.Values.Add(1); // adds 1 to variable x.
Setting values twice will add the values to the variable.
var x = new Variable<Int32>();
x.SetValues(new[]{1,2}); // adds the values 1,2 to the variable x
x.SetValues(new[]{3,4}); // now x contains {1,2,3,4}
Values added to a independent variable need to be unique because the variable might be used as an argument in a function. So the following will cause an exception
var x = new Variable<int>(); x.Values.Add(1); x.Values.Add(1);
Setting dependent variables
Setting dependent variables is a little more complicated because the arguments of the variable have to be taken into account. I will show three methods all resulting in the following function
x |
y |
|---|---|
1 |
10 |
2 |
20 |
3 |
30 |
//setup the function var x = new Variable<Int32>(); var y = new Variable<Int32>(); y.Arguments.Add(x)
//set dependent and independent values one by one
x.SetValues(new[]{1,2,3}); //set independent first.
y.SetValues(new[]{10,20,30}); //set dependent values
You can also set the values in a single call by using variablevalue filters
y.SetValues(new[]{10,20,30},new VariableValueFilter<int>(x,new[]{1,2,3}));
Or you can set the values one by one using the indexer of y.
y[1] = 10; y[2] = 20; y[3] = 30;
