Hi everyone,
I am using an array and performing Interpolation to create a new array which can store my new values after interpolation, But I dont know how to start with it..
My array is [ 12, 56, 78, 90, 100,
20, 21 , 43, 56, 100,
45, 78, 78, 78, 20 ,
60, 56, 80, 83, 20]
How do I perform interpolation to get a new array .
Thank you.
Okay, since that seems to be a one-dimensional array, even though it's formatted incorrectly for an array literal, I'll assume that this is an one-dimensional interpolation.
First you need to create a blank array to store your values in, the same size that your result needs to be.
Imagine these two arrays as lengths of string or something to that effect. The values of the array elements are marked at even intervals along the strings.
Imagine that the two arrays are put next to each other so that they're parallel and their ends line up. Now, for each element in the destination array, you need to assign to it the value that's closest to it in the source array.
Well, that was my attempt at an explanation.
Well, okay, it'll be similar to the above explanation, except two-dimensional. So you have two coordinates instead of one.
An analogy would be two panes of glass, one on top of the other.
Same concept, really. Now that I think about it, it's really just repeating the above process twice, once for each coordinate.
