Suppose X is a long vector of integers (typically about 30000 elements). Is
there an efficient way to detect whether there are at least N consecutive
zeros in X, and if yes, where does this occur?
for example, suppose X is:
1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 2 0 1 2 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 ...
and N is 10. I would like a foo(X, 10) to return something like c(6,19)
(start and end positions in X of at least 10 consecutive zeros). I can think
of a number of slow and probably inefficient ways of doing it (nested
loops..), but perhaps someone has a better idea..
Thanks in advance,
Kenn
