@hyper-neutrino well I took the mold function straight from Jelly

so it should work if it works in jelly

yeah but your lists are weird

they actually aren't

well

then idk

time to go check source code

and local test shit

It works now

But not the group by function

Turns out itertools groupby isn't as nice as I thought it would be

@hyper-neutrino what would you suggest instead?

well i don't think that function necessarily needs to be removed

i would like a split-before though

@hyper-neutrino example?

[1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4], 3 => [1, 2], [3, 4], [3, 5, 6, 7, 2], [3, 4]

@hyper-neutrino any other golfing languages that have this?

@hyper-neutrino github.com/Lyxal/Vyxal/commit/…

also, I'm requesting a review of the new element list

not sure

jelly has partition before the indices in (right) and do not discard borders

but not exactly the same

@Razetime @user @AaronMiller @hyper-neutrino @Underslash @UnrelatedString @Wasif @Ausername @AviFS chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/58362018#58362018

(avi, I'm just curious in what you think of the usefulness of each function)

as soon as someone beats me to the matrix straight line challenge :P

this challenge makes me big sad

it feels like it should be easy

@lyxal looks good. What does val mran?

Also, is scl a number/string?

@user non-function

@user scalar

Oh, just a number

string or number

Oh

only thing so far is that I don't like × being multiply, but it makes sense

ooh, also maybe distinguish a list of any length from a list of a specific length, because for example, wrap on the last value has return type [any] while uniquified has return type [any] despite wrap returning a fixed-length array and uniquified returning a variable length array

3rd thing, Ṡ should be described as a range to keep everything consistent and to make it easier to find

@Underslash good idea. I must confess that I copy pasted the description straight from Jelly, so there were bound to be some inconsistencies.

allg, thats what reviewing is for

@Underslash how about [any,] for len 1?

or maybe [any...] for variable length

i think the second one would be good

makes it very clear

okay then

sounds like a plan

except I just realised that basically every occurrence of [<type>] is for variable length

perhaps wrap last element should just be any instead

hmm

what about [*any] for variable length?

that means almost every instance of [any], [str], [num] would need to be updated

yeah, but its only 1 character tbf

like, i can do that really quick if you want me to, it would take like 2 seconds

No it's fine

I've done it anyway

Ǎ and E both do 2 ** a when given a number.

I am currently trying to count up forver in vyxal

i think ∞ is usefull

how to loop through a list?

map lambda probably

or just any form of map

why doesn't ∞(a|a,) work? should work, after the documentation, right?

iterating through ∞ and the variable with the value stored is a

i'll try map

i'm not familiar with what () does

oh it's just a for loop

lambda map is probably shorter anyway, but...

@math If you want to use a for loop, you could use ∞(n,. n is the default variable that a for loop uses. If you define your own variable, like a, then you have to use normal variable syntax, such as ∞(a|←a,). In your code, a is acting as the any command.

@lyxal ∞ = list of all positive integers, starting at 0

er

0 isn't a positive integer

@hyper-neutrino ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@math HN is right that map would be shorter, but mapping a print over generators doesn't work to well right now, so it becomes a bit of a mess: Try it Online!

oh right that lol

@AaronMiller Thanks

in the map, why are lines in the output?

is it a bug?

@hyper-neutrino ... or is it?

alright, opened a PR to fix the docs

@math Yeah, that's a bug. I've submitted an issue for it, but it's going to take some time to fix, so for now, it's just broken.
