I've also noticed this. Let's say a = 1, ix = [1]. So a[ix] gives an error while a[1] and a[a] do not give errors. In Matlab, there is no difference between the type of a and ix, while in other languages there is. In Matlab a([1]) doesn't produce an error, while in Julia a[[1]] does.
I'm not certain if this is just something that we have to live with, or if there is some other solution. chris On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 2:22 PM, Jeff Waller <truth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well I think the problem here is that though M[:,1]' * M[:,1] has only 1 > value, it's still a (1x1) matrix, and not a scalar. > What happens when you change to this? > > a=(M[:,1]' * M[:,1])[1] > > related. is automatically converting a 1x1 matrix to a scalar or defining > comparison between 1x1 matrices and scalars reasonable? > > > On Friday, May 15, 2015 at 5:14:43 PM UTC-4, Lytu wrote: >> >> When i do: >> M=rand(5,5) >> a=M[:,1]' * M[:,1] >> if a<0 >> println("Less than 0") >> else >> println("more") >> end >> >> I have an error: " isless has no method matching >> isless(::Array{Float64,2}, ::Int 32) in < at operators.jl:32 >> >> Can anyone tell me please how to do this?
