Hello!
I'm going through the labview core 2 training and was given a very simple problem to work on but I'm having trouble figuring out how to approach it. I realize it's probably very simple but I want to make sure I understand how to best deal with it.
I'm given some chaotic code that takes a 1 dimensional array, places the positive values into a "positive array" and the negative values into a "negative array". I'm asked to refactor the code, so it's pretty straight forward.
The issue I'm having is with the implementation on how to only output values into a given array if it's positive or negative. I tried using a select statement but that only allows me to choose between two different values for a single output path (rather than a selected output for different paths). Realistically, I need to make some sort of logic multiplexer (if I understand correctly).
The other approach I've taken is using a case statement, testing if it's positive or negative and outputting the value into the necessary array within the case statement but it gives me a conversion error when I try and place a single element and force it into an array output (maybe I need some sort of array conversion or I need to apend an existing array and update it again).
It's possible my thinking is all wrong but I've tried a few different approaches and none of them seem to have panned out. I'm guessing there's a simple solution but I'm having trouble finding it. Unfortunately, I've been taking the courses when I can over the past few months but that's a lot of time to forget things in between . . .
Any suggestions as to how to approach this problem, what blocks to work with, etc would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, none of this is for a grade, I'm not looking for someone to "do it for me" but I'd like to understand the right approach for this so I can get better at it.
Sorry for all the typing. If you need me to upload screenshots, let me know. Thanks!
