Coming from a language that uses array (PHP) and only 3 days of experience in golang, how can I translate a multi-dimensional array assignment using map (or slice, or combination)
I have this code in PHP: $set is a collection of document vectors (string => frequency).
I normally can create a posting statistics like this:
$postinglist = array();
foreach ($set as $id=>$doc) {
foreach ($doc as $term => $value) {
if(!isset($postinglist[$term][$id])) {
$postinglist[$term][$id] = $value;
}
}
So it would look something like:
array (
'the' => array (
1 => 5,
2 => 10
),
'and' => array (
1 => 6,
3 => 7
)
)
After building my corpus (just array of all terms in all documents), I would then build the posting list for each terms:
$terms = $this->getAllTerms();
foreach($terms as $term) {
$entry = new EntryStatistics();
foreach($postinglist[$term] as $id => $value) {
$post = new PostingStatistics;
$post->setTf($value);
$entry->setPostingList($id, $post);
}
}
I'm wondering if there's a neat way of doing such in golang as I've tried this:
postinglist := make(map[string]map[int]float64)
for id, doc := range indexmanager.GetDocuments() {
for str, tf := range doc {
_, ok_pl := postinglist[str][id]
if !ok_pl {
postinglist[str] = make(map[int]float64)
postinglist[str][id] = tf
}
}
}
Of course it doesn't work, as it always initializes the map everytime I do:
postinglist[str] = make(map[int]float64)
