Table (⍪), or Ravel Items, is a monadic primitive function which returns a matrix formed by applying Ravel to each major cell of the given array. Table shares its glyph ⍪ with the dyadic function Catenate First.
Examples
For arrays of rank 1 or higher, the result is identical to applying Ravel to major cells. In languages where Rank operator is available, Table is equivalent to ,⍤¯1.
{⍵(⍴⍵)}⍪5⍴⎕A
┌─┬───┐
│A│5 1│
│B│ │
│C│ │
│D│ │
│E│ │
└─┴───┘
{⍵(⍴⍵)}⍪3 4⍴⎕A
┌────┬───┐
│ABCD│3 4│
│EFGH│ │
│IJKL│ │
└────┴───┘
{⍵(⍴⍵)}⍪2 3 4⍴⎕A
┌────────────┬────┐
│ABCDEFGHIJKL│2 12│
│MNOPQRSTUVWX│ │
└────────────┴────┘
A scalar argument is converted to a 1-by-1 matrix:
{⍵(⍴⍵)}⍪123
┌───┬───┐
│123│1 1│
└───┴───┘
Properties
Table preserves the array's Tally (the number of major cells).
Table is equivalent to reshaping with the shape where all trailing axis lengths have been replaced by their [[product], or alternatively, the tally concatenated to the bound divided by the tally:
⍪2 3 4 2⍴⎕A
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
YZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV
{⍵⍴⍨(≢⍵),(×/⍴⍵)÷≢⍵}2 3 4 2⍴⎕A
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
YZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV
{⍵⍴⍨(1↑⍴⍵),(×/1↓⍴⍵)}2 3 4 2⍴⎕A
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
YZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV
