Table

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Table is equivalent to reshaping with the shape where all trailing axis lengths have been replaced by their [[product], or alternatively, the tally concatenated to the bound divided by the tally: 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
