sequence

The sequence function (seq) generates lists of numbers. Sequence is primarily used to allow users to define parameters which define things like output intervals. For example, a user could set a seq of :10 for the ARCHIVIST_DEFAULT-realtimeSequence which would mean that they wish to write realtime files (pop.csv and max.csv) every 10 update. If a user feels that they need higher resolution data later in the run they could set seq to:

x

sequence will contain a single value. e.g. seq("5") = 1)

x-y

sequence will contain x to y. e.g. seq("4-7") = 4,5,6,7

x-y:z

sequence will contain x to y on z. e.g. seq("4-60:5") = 4,9,14,19,24,29,34,39,44,49,54,59

:z

sequence will contain 0 to updates on z. e.g. seq(":10") = 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,...

x:z

sequence will contain x to updates on z. e.g. seq("1500:10") = 1500,1510,1520,1530,1540,1550,1560,...

, (comma)

append to sequences. e.g. seq("0:15#2,5:25#4") = 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14 + 5,9,13,17 = 0,2,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,17
