group
Partitions the elements of a list into same-size groups.
Syntax
-
group(L, n)-
Lis a list -
nis a positive integer
-
Description
If L is list and n divides #L, then group(L, n) returns a list of length #L / n in which each element is a list of length n containing elements of L in such a way that all elements of L are found in their original order when the result is read in row-major order.
If n does not divide #L, then group(L, n) returns a list of length ⌈#L / n⌉ as above with the additional elements of the last list being null objects.
