|
||
⍝ First solution: ((1+⊢)⊥⊣) computes the total return
|
||
⍝ for a vector of amounts ⍺ and a vector of rates
|
||
⍝ ⍵. It is applied to every prefix subarray of amounts
|
||
⍝ and rates to get all intermediate values. However,
|
||
⍝ this has quadratic complexity.
|
||
⍝ rr←(,\⊣)((1+⊢)⊥⊣)¨(,\⊢)
|
||
|
||
⍝ Second solution: We want to be able to use the
|
||
⍝ recurrence relation (recur) and scan through the
|
||
⍝ vectors of amounts and rates, accumulating the total
|
||
⍝ value at every time step. However, APL evaluation is
|
||
⍝ right-associative, so a simple Scan
|
||
⍝ (recur\amounts,¨values) would not give the correct
|
||
⍝ result, since recur is not associative and we need
|
||
⍝ to evaluate it left-to-right. (In any case, in this
|
||
⍝ case, Scan would have quadratic complexity, so would
|
||
⍝ not bring any benefit over the previous solution.)
|
||
⍝ What we need is something akin to Haskell's scanl
|
||
⍝ function, which would evaluate left to right in O(n)
|
||
⍝ time. This is what we do here, accumulating values
|
||
⍝ from left to right. (This is inspired from
|
||
⍝ dfns.ascan, although heavily simplified.)
