http://dev.clojure.org/jira This file is an XML representation of an issue en-us 4.4 649 25-07-2011 http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1117 Clojure <p>The doc for partition states "In case there are not enough padding elements, return a partition with less than n items."</p> <p>However, the behavior of this function is as follows:</p> <p>user=&gt; (partition 3 (range 10))<br/> ((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6 7 8))<br/> user=&gt; (partition 4 (range 10))<br/> ((0 1 2 3) (4 5 6 7))<br/> user=&gt; (partition 5 (range 10))<br/> ((0 1 2 3 4) (5 6 7 8 9))</p> <p>Either the doc should be updated to make it clear that not providing a pad will mean that items are dropped, or the functionality of partition should be fixed to the following:</p> <p>user=&gt; (partition 3 (range 10))<br/> ((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6 7 8) (9))</p> OS X, 10.8 CLJ-1117

Partition does not follow docs

Defect Minor Open Unresolved Unassigned Timothy Baldridge Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:28:02 -0600 Fri, 17 May 2013 10:14:56 -0500 Release 1.6 0 2 <p>That would be a potentially breaking change for some people's code that uses partition. partition-all behaves as you wish.</p> <p>Also, your concern with the documentation is for when there are padding elements specified as an argument, but your examples don't specify any padding elements.</p> <p>I agree, but I think the docs should then explicitly state: "if no padding is given, not all input elements may be returned in the output partitions" or something to that line. </p> <p>More precise documentation of current behavior is always welcome in my opinion.</p> <p>I've uploaded a patch that calls out when and how partition drops tail elements:<br/> "If a pad collection is not supplied, any tail elements that remain from dividing the input collection length by n will not be included in a partition."</p> Global Rank Patch Code
