Compound Arithmetic different array size

[oly]

Hi all,

I have two array with different size, 

 Array 1         Array 2

      1                0

      1                0 

      1                0

      1

 If compound arithmetic OR was performed on them, I got output 

1

1

1

Is there any way I can get 

1

1

1

1

Thank you.

This is normal behavior. To have 1 1 1 1 you will have to compare the array sizes and append the good amount of 0 to the smallest array and then OR them.

You could initilize the shortest arry to the same size as the longest. The default value would be zero for the cells that do not get written in.

Thank you for the ideas!

Array 2  is the output of some program, its size varies from 0 to hundred...

array 1 size is also variable, from 0 to 5...

so I am thinking somehow can I pad 0s after the smaller size array to make the sizes of them equal?

something like this? if your array size changes all the time from each time the code is called. You could also use a case structure instead of 3 selectors

Padding is most easily done using "reshape array". Here's some minimal code that pads the shorter array to the size of the longer one of the two.
