Re^2: constructing a matrix with perl

yeah it should be a 39 by 39 square. there are 1,400 odd numbers - in my data - i suppose its symetrical accross a diagonal line of zeros, AAvAA, AEvAE.... ZHvZH.

I havent included all the values here.

I haven't actually got data for XvX pairs, where the values are zero - but it will be zero for the matrix. I do have all cases of YvX for any XvY.

hope that clears things up - any more questions ask away! -thanks

In that case, I would probably first create the square "matrix" with all entries initialized to 0. Then I would read in the data you have as in my previous reply. Finally, I would loop over the entries making them symmetric. To do this, you could make an array @A with entries AA,...,ZH and then do the symmetrizing over the matrix entries `$M{$A[i]}{$A[j]}` where i<j. AA,...,ZH includes 208 values, doesn't it? So it seems like your matrix is much bigger than 39 by 39. But I may be misunderstanding something still. It is probably possible to do all this in fewer steps, but there probably isn't much change in efficiency. (I am getting disconnected a lot, so I may stop posting till later.) chas	[reply] [d/l]
