diff(Vector,dims=1)

[PaulSoderlind]

in 0.7.0-beta.108,
diff(ones(6),dims=1) gives

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching diff(::Array{Float64,1}; dims=1)

In contrast, sum(ones(6),dims=1) works.

Yes, I don't see why we shouldn't have a general diff(A::AbstractArray; dims) method which would also cover the Vector case.

@PaulSoderlind Hey A newbie here. Can you please point me at the right direction?

I am certainly no expert either, but I believe the method is defined in Julia-1.0.0\share\julia\base\multidimensional.jl It looks like it would be straightforward to add a method. /Paul S

What should its be behavior be?

Is it expected to be the same as

julia> reduce((x,y) -> x-y, ones(6))
-4.0

What should its be behavior be?

The same as cumsum seems to be a good starting point. /Paul S
