How do I efficiently output to a non-contiguous range in Google Apps Script (GAS) -


i'm new google script, appreciate help!

here's data looks (3 non-contiguous records, 4 non-contiguous fields): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18ffb2hlcfccihj7npmihzbuf47op2umdrtkfpytqowu/edit#gid=0

i have array of items , each item object contains 4 keys. want output google sheets in few setvalue requests possible. if can't in 1 call, makes logical sense output each item @ time.

my idea can create ranges fields 1 , 4 span entire column. can create ranges span entire item row. intersection between 2 range want output to, once have assembled array of 2 values.

or perhaps since assuming know rows/columns of each cell below, can return range , use union of ranges create mapping instead.

but there function intersection or union in gas? or better off outputting each cell 1 1?

thanks help!

there's no such function. it's either 1 one or contiguous cells.

but there's quite few tricks/alternatives might work you. sandy pointed in comment, contiguous range had required cells , set non-required ones blank or original values. has down side of not working formulas.

you pre-configured required cells simple formulas "pointing" continuous range. bulk update @ once.

if bulk setting required, grab values and formulas of wide range, , convert plain values equivalent formulas, e.g. abc becomes ="abc" , 1/1/2015 =date(2015,1,1) (yes, it's cumbersome) , use setformulas set back, both original formulas , values converted formulas. making no actual content change in cells don't want , changing required ones, in 1 bulk operation.

anyway, these workarounds. stated in first sentence, it's not possible, period. want star this report in apps script issue tracker kind of vote feature , receive updates.

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
