Is there a standard function that would split collection into buckets depending on some parameter?

[Shawn]

sounds kinda like you want .groupBy { ... }

[Shawn]

going to have to be more specific on what you mean by “buckets” and “depending on some parameter”

[pavel]

there is also .partition{...} for simpler cases

[Shawn]

correct, if you have a boolean predicate, partition might be a better choice

[Dias]

yeah something like partition but without predefined number of partitions

[Dias]

I guess groupby will work for me, if I then strip the keys

[Shawn]

you can call .values on the resulting map to get a collection containing your “buckets”

[Dias]

yeah, I should have thought about groupBy, thank you

Sequence<T>.chunked()

[Shawn]

@hmole sure, if “some parameter” is just the number of elements you want in each resulting list

[Shawn]

the request was vague enough that I figured they wanted just arbitrary criterion support
