arrange(vector: Array, n: Integer, [useIndex: Boolean = false]): Array

Do the mathematical arrange (with repetition), groups made up by n elements (n < array size), where the elements are distincted by the order or value. In the arrange with repetition repeated elements can appear in the same group. The function returns a bidimensional array, where line = arrange and column = element.

vector

array that will be arranged

n

amount of elements in each group

useIndex

defines the return type, if true, returns just a "map" containing the indexes of the vector argument, otherwise, it uses the values of the array
