tablefilter — Filters a source table and writes result into a destination table.
This opcode can be used in order to filter values from function tables following certain algorithms. The filtered output is written into a destination table and the number of elements that have passed the filter is returned.
knumpassed -- the number of elements that have passed the filter.
kouttable -- the number of the table containing the values that have passed.
kintatble -- the number of the table used as filter input.
kmode -- mode of the filter:
kparam -- integer threshold parameter for the filter. It means that denominators whose weights are heavier than the weight of this threshold are not passed through the filter. The weight of an integer is calculated using Clarence Barlow's function of indigestibility of a number. According to this function, higher prime numbers contribute to an increased weight of any natural integer they divide. The order of the first 16 integers according to their indigestibility is: 1, 2, 4, 3, 8, 6, 16, 12, 9, 5, 10, 15, 7, 14.
