Hi group,
I'm sure I'll bang me on my head as soon as I will Press <Post
Message>,
but it's since yesterday that I'm struggling with this...
I fast defined this awkward function, to collect the {index,value} of
the maxima of a list of reals (a Fourier transform):
maxima[f_] := Block[{old = f[[1]], m = {}},
For[i = 2, i < Length[f]/2, i++,
If[f[[i]] > old && f[[i + 1]] < f[[i]],
AppendTo[m, {i, f[[i]]}]];
old = f[[i]]
]
m
]
Problem is, what I get is e.g. this:
> maxima[f]
> {{14 Null, 10.8853 Null}, {21 Null, 3.34261 Null}, {28 Null, 1.47219 Null}}
I'm sure I do not have spaces anywhere (it happened something similar
due to this error, time ago),
so what's wrong?
thanks for any help...
