Enumerable#partition([iterator = Prototype.K[, context]]) → [TrueArray, FalseArray]
  • iterator (Function) – An optional function to use to evaluate each element in the enumeration; the function should return the value to test. If this is not provided, the element itself is tested.
  • context (Object) – An optional object to use as this within calls to the iterator.

Partitions the elements in two groups: those regarded as true, and those considered false. By default, regular JavaScript boolean equivalence (e.g., truthiness vs. falsiness) is used, but an iterator can be provided that computes a boolean representation of the elements.

Using partition is more efficient than using Enumerable#findAll and then using Enumerable#reject because the enumeration is only processed once.

Examples
['hello', null, 42, false, true, , 17].partition();
// -> [['hello', 42, true, 17], [null, false, undefined]]
 $R(1, 10).partition(function(n) {
  return 0 == n % 2;
});
// -> [[2, 4, 6, 8, 10], [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]]
