partition

Note

This is a point-in-time snapshot of the API documentation from January 2026. Going forward, we will not be maintaining a public copy of these references, and recommend users to refer to the built-in signature helpers available in the Hack LSP instead for complete and up-to-date information.

Returns a 2-tuple containing vecs for which the given predicate returned true and false, respectively

namespace HH\Lib\Vec;

function partition<Tv>(
  Traversable<Tv> $traversable,
  (function(Tv): bool) $predicate,
): (vec<Tv>, vec<Tv>);

Time complexity: O(n * p), where p is the complexity of $predicate Space complexity: O(n)

Parameters​

Returns​

  • (vec<Tv>, vec<Tv>)

Examples​

$example_vec = vec[1,2,3,4,5];
$result = Vec\partition($example_vec, $val ==> $val%2 == 0);
print_r($result);
// result: [[2,4], [1,3,5]]

$result = Vec\partition($example_vec, $val ==> $val == $val);
print_r($result);
//result: [[1,2,3,4,5], []]

$result = Vec\partition($example_vec, $val ==> $val != 0);
print_r($result);
//result: [[1,2,3,4,5], []]
