Hello! The following piece of code (example) prints 10 while I would have expected 5: for i = 1:1 it = 1:5 f(t) = t b = maximum(f, it) f(t) = 2*t display(b) end Does someone have an explanation for that behavior? Thanks

As @ExpandingMan said, a solution is to use anonymous functions. See here and the linked issue for more details: [image] Local function redefinition: feature or bug? General Usage For the followed function, t() will output 12 in Julia0.4 and output 22 since Julia0.5. Is t…

You may need looking for ‘argmax’, which returns the index of the largest element.

Actually, no. Ignore my comments.

When you declare functions like f(x) = y this creates a global binding to f in the module as soon as it gets compiled (likewise when you declare functions with function). What you want are “anonymous functions” f = t -> t f = t -> 2t It’s unfortunate that this distinction exists, but my understan…
