| 2024-05-16 18:22:10 +0200 | <ski> | if only some of the parameters changed in recursive calls, then you could, within a single toplevel call, only cache for the changing parameters, thereby simplifying the datastructure needed to cache results |
| 2024-05-16 18:21:26 +0200 | <Guest13> | I could frame it as Int Int Int and have [Int] and String as references |
| 2024-05-16 18:20:53 +0200 | <Guest13> | the recursive call changes all of the above, and the top call I believe will start at 0 0 [Int] String |
| 2024-05-16 18:20:07 +0200 | <Guest13> | can you explain what is the difference? |
| 2024-05-16 18:19:47 +0200 | <ski> | oh, and when i asked "which of those are actually changing ?", i specifically had *recursive* calls in mind (not initial/top calls from other places) |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:35 +0200 | <Guest13> | yes |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:33 +0200 | <Guest13> | to make it easy I just wanted to cache results of calls |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:29 +0200 | <ski> | .. or are you just looking for caching results of calls, to avoid recomputing later ? |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:21 +0200 | <Guest13> | yes, but I am probably framing it badly |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:06 +0200 | <ski> | are you sure dynamic programming would make sense, for your problem, then ? |
| 2024-05-16 18:18:02 +0200 | <Guest13> | I can simplify it to Int Int [Int] String |
| 2024-05-16 18:17:19 +0200 | <Guest13> | all of them |
| 2024-05-16 18:17:11 +0200 | <ski> | Guest13 : and which of those are actually changing ? |

| 2024-05-16 18:16:30 +0200 | <dolio> | And that's what 'map' does on all elements of some container. |
| 2024-05-16 18:16:20 +0200 | <Guest13> | or at least what I had in the recursive call |

| 2024-05-16 18:15:58 +0200 | <Guest13> | yes, [Int] [Int] int String are the parameters |
| 2024-05-16 18:15:27 +0200 | <dolio> | Anyhow, 'map' doesn't just mean 'function' it's also the act of associating or carrying an input to an output by a function. |

| 2024-05-16 18:14:46 +0200 | <c_wraith> | wow, good sentence construction there. |

| 2024-05-16 18:14:40 +0200 | <ski> | > [0,1,0,2,0,1,0,3] \\ [2,1,0] |
| 2024-05-16 18:14:28 +0200 | <c_wraith> | is Int overflow behavior actually specified on overflow? |
| 2024-05-16 18:13:11 +0200 | <dolio> | Lists aren't subsets, though. |
| 2024-05-16 18:12:07 +0200 | <ski> | if you think of the list as representing a subset, then the `map' function computes the (existential/direct) image of the function on that subset .. not sure why one would call this "map" |

| 2024-05-16 18:10:30 +0200 | <ski> | anyway, for the data structure, surely "(finite) map" is because it's representing a "map" (or "mapping"), being a word that's basically a synonym for "function","transform", the "finite" part referring to that it has a finite domain, or that it's a partial function defined on a finite subset of the domain (sometimes representing a function with "finite support" meaning that it only maps to "nonzero" on a |

| 2024-05-16 18:09:12 +0200 | <dolio> | The lisp 1.6 manual has it. |
| 2024-05-16 18:06:07 +0200 | <dolio> | I think it goes pretty far back in lisp. |

| 2024-05-16 18:05:21 +0200 | <ski> | did LISP 1.5 have `MAPCAR' ? |
| 2024-05-16 18:04:59 +0200 | <ski> | i wonder about the etymology of the `map' function |

| 2024-05-16 18:02:32 +0200 | <EvanR> | it's been a while since I didn't know jargon but I have to wonder if noobs are confused by the collision of map function and map data structure |

| 2024-05-16 17:59:12 +0200 | <EvanR> | map vs map |
| 2024-05-16 17:58:59 +0200 | <EvanR> | at least other functionalish languages are being consistent in this jargon xD |
