Pinpoint the last parameter of a set of parameters

Hi, GAMS world.

I have some difficulties in pinpointing the last parameter of a set of parameters.

For now I use the following method to let N to be equal to the last parameter of M(k):

Set
k / k1*k10 / ;

Parameter
M(k) ;

Scalar
N ;

N = sum(k$(ord(k)=card(k)), M(k)) ;

Since this method looks very clumsy, I am wondering if there is a better way to finish the job.

Thanks.

Dylan

Dylan,

If you use a singleton set, you can isolate the “ord(k)=card(k)” to the definition of the singleton set, and potentially use the singleton many times. An example is below.

-Steve

Set k / k1*k10 /;
singleton set kLast(k);
kLast(k) = [ord(k)=card(k)];

Parameter M(k);
M(k) = ord(k);

Scalars N, S;

N = sum(k$(ord(k)=card(k)), M(k));

since kLast is declared to be a singleton, the statement below is OK
S = M(kLast);
