How to recall some values that are printed in Anylogic Console and store them?

Question

I am creating an agent based model in Anylogic 8.7. I created a collection with ArrayList class and Agent elements using this code to separate some agents meeting a specific condition:

collection.addAll(findAll(population,p -> p.counter==variable); for (AgentyType p: collection ) { traceln(p.probability); }

The above code will store the probability attribute of the separated agents in the console. Is there a way to define a loop to retrieve the printed probability attributes from the console one by one and store them in a variable to operate on them? Or if there is a more efficient and optimized way of doing this I would be glad if you share this with me. Thank you all.

Answer 1

I am not sure why you are following this methodology... Agent-Based Modeling already "stores" the parameters you are looking for, you do not need the console as an intermediate. I believe what you are trying to do is the following:

for( AgentType p : agentTypes)
{
   if( p.track == 1 )
   {
    sum = sum + p.probability * p.impact ;
   }
{

I recommend you read:

The latter will give you a better idea on how to collect Agent statistics based on certain criteria.

Answer 2

depending on the operations you want to perform you can use the following:

you can use something like this to collect one by one the values of your probabilities.

collection.addAll(findAll(population,p -> p.counter==variable); 
LinkedList <Double> probabilities= new LinkedList();
for (AgentyType p: collection ) { 
    probabilities.add(p.probability); 
}
