{{Built-ins|Partition|⊆|⊂}} is a [[dyadic function]] .
{{Built-ins|Partition|⊆|⊂}} is a [[dyadic function]] which splits its right argument into differently sized pieces as determined by the non-negative integer left argument. This article uses <source lang=apl inline>⊆</source> to distinguish Partition from [[Partitioned Enclose]] (which is always <source lang=apl inline>⊂</source>), but the actual [[glyph]] used [[Migration level|varies by dialect]].

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):

Right argument elements can be skipped by having their corresponding left argument element be 0:
<source lang=apl>
      1 1 2 2 2 0 0⊆'HiEarth'
┌──┬───┐
│Hi│Ear│
└──┴───┘

In the case where the left argument is [[Boolean]], Partition splits its right argument on runs of 0s in the left argument, allowing a very short split-on-delimiter function:
