On a vector right argument, the arguments must have the same length with each element in the left argument corresponding to an element in the right argument. Partition begins a new '''division''' of its right argument whenever a left argument element is greater than its neighbour on the left (with a 0 assumed to the left of the first element): | On a vector right argument, the arguments must have the same length with each element in the left argument corresponding to an element in the right argument.
