Call a Sequence a Sequence

Well, its a LSMFP ("linear state machine with fixed personality" ) 🙂

How hard can it be to index out element(0,0) of a 2D array?

Easy(top): We simply reshape the 2D array to a 1D array with one element,  convert it to a cluster with 9 elements (?!), and unbundle the first element.

It seems more scenic than just use "index array" (bottom). 😄

Just stumbled upon this cute way to build an array of strings... I really had to look twice

Found here...

If you're going to use a sequence, then use a sequence.

I think this structure was used to reduce the amount of space used (it could have been done in one line).

That could looks like they really wanted the code I posted in my Nugget on control refs. Early version of me trying to make my config files less work to maintain looked something like that.

Complex way to extract columns from a 2D string array. 

Note that the1D I32 array is converted to a cluster only to be convert back to 1D I32s.

This operation is actually more complex and not reversible. It's Rube Goldberg's way to reshape (pad, trim) the array to 16 elements in this particular case 😉 No matter what the input size is, the output will be size=16 (or whatever the array-to-cluster is configured). 😄

That was an unexpected "Feature" of the original code.

Go gentle on him Ak2DM since he's new in these parts. We don't want to scare him off into answering another 15K question or something even more dangerous. I suggest we try talking nice to him and maybe he won't go running off looking for a new question to squash.

Just having fun,
