Re: Mapping tag-value lists to a third

Show all headers | View raw

Thanks to all who replied.  For now I have implemented it as

tagval=If [$VersionNumber>=5.1,Pick[val,tag,1],val*tag/. 0:>Sequence[]];

For big lists, Pick is slightly faster. Eg, for 10^7 length, on a MacPro:

     Pick 1.45 sec    Sequence: 1.72 sec

The reason for $VersionNumber is that Pick appeared in 5.1. Some
users of my Mathematica codes are colleagues living overseas who run
version 4 on old computers.
