avoiding for loop when calculating median [message #10967]

Hello,

calculating the median of each i set of values M(i,*), I would like to
'vectorize' the operation to avoid a FOR loop like the following -

for cnt=0,idim-1 do begin
calcmedian(cnt)=median(mat(cnt,*))
end

but, you can't do -

cnt=indgen(idim)
calcmedian(cnt)=median(M(cnt,*))

and get the desired result, where each element of calcmedian() will be
assigned the same value.

can it be done wothout a FOR loop?

Thank you, George
