Help with Null

Posted 9 years ago

I would like to ask for your help with the next question i have, my function diamond works as i hope,see you Here is malla

malla={{100, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
  0}, {0, 0, 0, 102, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
  0, 0}, {100, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100}};

Next the function diamond

diamond[main_, gx_, gy_, grider_] := 
 Module[{grid = grider, last, half, b, c, g, h, d, a, e, f, i, top, 
   left, botton, right},
  last = Length[grid] - 1;
  half = Ceiling[last/2.];
  b = {gx, gy};
  c = {gx + last, gy};
  g = {gx, gy + last};
  h = {gx + last, gy + last};
  d = {gx + half, gy + half}; (* midpoint*)
  (* extreme corners*)
  If[gy - half >= 0 , a = {gx + half, gy - half}, a = Null];
  If[gx - half >= 0, e = {gx - half, gy + half}, e = Null];
  If[gx + last + half < Length[main], 
   f = {gx + last + half, gy + half}, f = Null];
  If[gy + last + half < Length[main], 
   i = {gx + half, gy + last + half}, i = Null];
  {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i}]

Test of diamond function

diamond[malla, 1, 1, malla]

the results that throws the diamond function are the ones I hope, the problem arises when I try to use the following function called average,

average[a_, b_, c_, d_, main_] := Module[{total = 0, count = 0, x},
  If[a != Null, x = main[[a[[1]], a[[2]]]]; 
   If[x != 0, total = total + x ; count++]];
  If[b != Null, x = main[[b[[1]], b[[2]]]]; 
   If[x != 0, total = total + x ; count++]];
  If[c != Null, x = main[[c[[1]], c[[2]]]]; 
   If[x != 0, total = total + x ; count++]];
  If[d != Null, x = main[[d[[1]], d[[2]]]]; 
   If[x != 0, total = total + x ; count++]];
  Ceiling[total/N[count]]
  ]

When test average with the following parameters,Mathematica returns indeterminations which is something that I don't want to, look

average[Null, {1, 1}, {7, 1}, {4, 4},malla]

I think that the problem is. what because Mathematica does not make the comparison of {1,1 } ! =Null,returning only the same input i.e. {1,1 } != Null, Is there any way make that run the average function?, if anyone can help me thank you it is in advance, good night all.

Gianluca Gorni, thank you very much for your help, with the solution that gave me it solved my problem, that's what I needed.

Greetings Luis Ledesma :)

Try writing x =!= y (UnsameQ) instead of x != y (Unequal).
