The time/space numbers are telling you that (x $ y) produces a virtual result when it can, while (_2 ]\ y) doesn't (yet).  If you use the result immediately, the space saving is real.  If you box the result or save it in a name, the value will be realized and the space saving will vanish.

Much neater than what I was about to offer,  unless Raoul needs to specify the fill,

in which case,  this alternative rather minimal amendment is worth consideration:

   ($!._ ~2,~>.@-:@#) i.7
0 1
2 3
4 5
6 _

cf

   _2]\ i.7
0 1
2 3
4 5
6 0

Also, the time and space performance _might_ be important for large inputs:

   ts' $ _2]\ list ' [list =: i.100000
0.000618 1.04986e6
   ts'($!._ ~2,~>.@-:@#) list'
2.7e_6 2304

Cheers,

    x u\ y where x is eg _2 means apply very b to successive pairs (_ for non-overlapping).

      _2 ]\ 1 2 3 4 5 6

Hello,

I am convinced that this must be trivial, but I wasn't able to find in the documentation how to reshape a list to a table without manually extracting the length.

in summary, is there a more direct way of doing:

lst =. i. 6

((2,~2%~#) $ ]) lst

for a list of arbitrary length?

Thanks!

Raoul
