[julia-users] Re: Accessing "for" loop variable outside the loop

[passerby51]

OK, I found the asnwer here:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introducing_Julia/Controlling_the_flow#Loop_variables_and_scope
But it seems that I couldn't find it in the manual. Maybe I didn't search 
well, but if it doesn't appear there it is worth mentioning it.

[julia-users] Accessing "for" loop variable outside the loop

[passerby51]

I was trying to use the for loop variable outside it, after breaking out of 
the loop, to see how many iterations were executed. But it seems to be that 
the loop variable is not accessible outside the loop? Is that the case? 
Does this apply to all the variables defined inside the loop?

I think I have done the pull request on GitHub (ID: aaamini). I hope I have 
done it correctly.

OK... thanks. Not sure how to do a pull request, but will try to learn. 
Otherwise, will try to edit on GitHub. (I have to revive my dusty old 
Github account it seems!)

[julia-users] Possible mistake in the manual?

Hello,

In the discussion of arrays in the manual, in the assignment section 
 it 
says of this:

A[I_1, I_2, ..., I_n] = X

The it does the following:

If X is an array, its size must be (length(I_1), length(I_2), ..., 
> length(I_n)), and the value in location i_1, i_2, ..., i_n of A is 
> overwritten with the valueX[I_1[i_1], I_2[i_2], ..., I_n[i_n]]. If X is 
> not an array, its value is written to all referenced locations of A.


It seems to me that it should be this:

If X is an array, its size must be (length(I_1), length(I_2), ..., 
length(I_n)), and the value in location I_1[i_1], I_2[i_2], ..., I_n[i_n] 
 of A is overwritten with the valueXi_1, i_2, ..., i_n]. If X is not an 
array, its value is written to all referenced locations of A.
