| ...It works with one d8 and one d4, but I want it to also work with multiple... - With "f:=f-max{f}+d4" I tried to remove the highest value in {f} from {f} and replace it with a new d4, but it expects a singleton (lines 8, 11, 12). How do I remove the highest value from a union and replace it with a new die roll? - With "a:=a-min{{a > min{f}}}" I tried to remove from {a} the lowest value in {a} that is higher than the lowest value in {f} (line 11). How do I do that? Here's what I have so far: 1: a:=d8; 2: f:=d4; 3: x:=0; 4: call fuel(a,f,x) 5: function fuel(a,f,x) = 6: if 4 = max{f} then 7: x:=x+4; 8: f:=f-max{f}+d4; 9: call fuel(a,f,x) 10: else if max{a} > min{f} then 11: a:=a-min{{a > min{f}}}; 12: f:=f-min{f}+d4; 13: call fuel(a,f,x) 14: else x:=x+sum{f}; 15: x Thank you . |

| The symbol "-" is used for subtraction of numbers. What you want is removing a number from a collection. For that you need the "--" operator. Similarly, "+" is for addition of numbers. To add an element to a collection, you need "U" (union). So the line f:=f-min{f}+d4; should instead be f:= (f -- min f) U d4. The parentheses are needed because U binds stronger than --.As you can see, you don't need the curly braces when you apply min or max. I'm not sure what you want to accomplish with the line a:=a-min{{a > min{f}}};. a > min f will return either the minimum value of f (if this is less than a) or the empty collection. Taking the minimum of the empty collection will give a run-time error. |

| Awesome, thank you. The "--" and "U" were exactly what I needed. What I wanted to write with "{a > min{f}}" is.. "the collection of numbers in {a} that are greater than the smallest number in {f}" So if {a} is {1,2,3,4} and {f} is {2,3}, that would be {3,4}. Then I want to remove the lowest one of those values from {a}. That would make {a} = {1,2,4}. All I need now is some function that can give me "the collection of numbers in {a} that are greater than the smallest number in {f}" How would one do that? |
