Partitionning a vector question

Postby PGilbert on Tue Dec 15, 2015 5:11 pm

Hello everyone, I am trying to partition an even vector as follow:

      {↓(((0.5×⍴⍵),2)⍴⍵)}⍳10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


is someone has a more 'elegant' solution than going through a matrix for doing that.

Thanks in advance.

      x⊂⍨1 0⍴⍨≢x

I don't know whether you'd consider it more "elegant". It IS shorter. It's not quite as fast as ↓ of a 2-column matrix because ↓ can exploit the regularity that is not practically detectable by ⊂.

Hello Roger, I am not obtaining the expected result for ⍳10:
      {⍵⊂⍨1 0⍴⍨≢⍵}⍳10
1 3 5 7 9

The expression requires ⎕ml≤2.

Thanks its working with ⎕ml←2 (I was ⎕ml←3)

Hi,
Roger's solution may be made slightly shorter by
x⊂⍨2|⍳≢x
but this means that (⎕ML ⎕IO)←0 1
(and I'm quite sure that Roger won't use 1 for index origin..)

Tricks aside, you may use either Dyalog partition
{((≢⍵)⍴1 0)⊂⍵⊣⎕ML←2}
or APL2 style
{((≢⍵)⍴2 1)⊂⍵⊣⎕ML←3}

Thanks Veli-Matti and Roger, I learned a little bit more about partition today and the interaction of ⎕ML. Since we are using ⎕ML←3, the expression {((⍴⍵)⍴2 1)⊂⍵} is what I was looking for.
