NAME Array::Sample::Partition - Sample elements from an array by equal partitions VERSION This document describes version 0.003 of Array::Sample::Partition (from Perl distribution Array-Sample-Partition), released on 2022-05-20. SYNOPSIS use Array::Sample::Partition qw(sample_partition); sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4], 1); => (2) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4], 2); => (1,3) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4], 3); => (1,2,3) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4,5], 1); => (3) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4,5], 2); => (2,4) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4,5], 3); => (1,3,4) sample_partition([0,1,2,3,4,5], 4); => (1,2,3,4) DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS All functions are not exported by default, but exportable. sample_partition Syntax: sample_partition(\@ary, $n [ , \%opts ]) => list Options: * pos => bool If set to true, will return positions instead of the elements. The function takes an array reference ("\@ary") and number of samples to take ($n). It will first divide the array into $n+1 of (whenever possible) equal-sized partitions, leaving an element between partitions, then get the elements between the partitions.

AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2017 by perlancar .
