For hcat, what shape would you want the output to have?
With your example input, the result of vcat is straightforward: v = [[1],[2,3],[4,5]] vcat(v...) # -> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] But for hcat, what output would you want? hcat(v...) throws a DimensionMismatch error stating that vectors must have the same length. //T On Friday, November 27, 2015 at 1:39:34 PM UTC+1, Cedric St-Jean wrote: foldl would work, but it's going to create a ton of temporary arrays. > > None of the proposed efficient solutions work with hcat...
