Talk:Top rank per group

Task Description is just about missing

What does the task require one to do? What group? What do you mean by ranker? --Paddy3118 12:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

It looks like the SMMEQL example was the original, definitive example on the page, so a new task description should be written with that as a basis. I'll get to it tomorrow on my lunch break, if nobody beats me to it. --Short Circuit 07:41, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I just changed the task description to show "department" instead of "group" because I thought it was unclear originally. I was going to explain it in my edit comment, but I tapped enter by accident when putting in a quote mark. --Mwn3d 20:57, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

The task description does not seem to qualify the output if the sorted values within one department were as follows:

9 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 4

I'm going to be away the next couple weeks, but here's an approach in J.

Using the following input:

   Employees=: (<;.1~ (#{.,~@:1:);+./@:(;: E.S:0 ])@:{.) ];._2 noun define
EMP_NAME        EMP_ID HIRE_DATE SALARY DEPT EXEMPT INTERESTS

Timothy Grove   E16398 19850121  29900  D190 Y                
)

The top earners in each dept are:

   ('`',,;:^:_1:N=:{.Employees)  =: , (_&{"1)`'' ([^:(_ -: ])L:0)"0 _~ i.# E=:{:Employees
   N , (<@:>"1@:|:@:((6 <. #) {. ] \: SALARY)/.~ DEPT) |: <"1&> E

C++0X is not yet ratified, but maybe an implementation could be given anyway :
