YearArray

It's basically an array wrapper used to play (do some check and calculation) with 8760 (or 8784) hourly values related to a year.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'year_array'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install year_array

arr = Yarray.new(2018)
arr.to_s   => "start_time: 2018-01-01 00:00:00 +0100, arr: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, ..., 0.0]"

will initialize the array to zero.

Otherwise pass the init value:

arr = Yarray.new(2018, value: 1.0)
arr.to_s   => "start_time: 2018-01-01 00:00:00 +0100, arr: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, ..., 0.0]"

You can also pass an init array:

arr = Yarray.new(2018, arr: [0.0, 1.0, 2, 3])
arr.to_s   => "start_time: 2018-01-01 00:00:00 +0100, arr: [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, ..., 0.0]"

The array will be truncated or filled with zero values in order to reach the correct number of hours in year.

ya1 = Yarray.new(2018, value: 1.0)
ya2 = Yarray.new(2018, value: 2.0)

ya1.size   # => 8760
ya1.year   # => 2018

# Operations on each element of array

# The result will be stored in a new yarray object (more memory expensive):
ya1 + ya2
ya1 - ya2
ya1 * ya2
ya1 / ya2

# The operation will be computed in the caller ya1:
ya1.add(ya2)
ya1.subtract(ya2)
ya1.multiply(ya2)
ya1.divide(ya2)


Yarray.min(ya1, ya2)   # return a Yarray object where each value is the minimum between value of ya1 and ya2
Yarray.max(ya1, ya2)   # return a Yarray object where each value is the maximum between value of ya1 and ya2

ya1.any_positive?
ya1.any_negative?

ya1.any do |v|
  v > 100
end
