Split a vector into chunks

Description

This function either

• splits a vector into n chunks of equal size (type = 1),

• splits a vector into chunks of size n (type = 2).

Usage

chunk_vector(x, n, type = 1, strict = FALSE)

Arguments

x	[atomic()'] A vector of elements.
n	[integer(1)] A number smaller or equal length(x).
type	[1 | 2] Either 1 (default) to split x into n chunks of equal size, or 2 to split x into chunks of size n.
strict	[logical(1)] Set to TRUE to fail if length(x) is not a multiple of n, or FALSE (default), else.

Value

A list.
