Description:
Divide a sequence into a specified number of equal segments according to its length and returns the kth segment.
Syntax:
A.range(k:n)
Note:
External library function (See External Library Guide).
The function divides sequence A into n equal segments according to its length and retrieves the kth segment to return. It returns all segments when parameter k is absent. The colon (:) after parameter k cannot be omitted when k is absent.
Parameter:
|
A |
A numeric sequence. |
|
k |
An integer, which is the sequence number of a specified segment. |
|
n |
An integer representing the total number of segments. |
Return value:
Sequence
Example:
|
[1,5,2,6,8,7].range (2:3) |
Return sequence [2,6]. |
|
to(8).range (1:3) |
Return sequence [1,2,3]. |
|
to(8).range (3:3) |
Return sequence [7,8]. |
|
to(8).range (:3) |
Return sequence [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8]]. |
