Subdivide

Subdivide[n]

generates the list {0,1/n,2/n,…,1}.

Subdivide[xmax,n]

generates the list of values obtained by subdividing the interval 0 to xmax into n equal parts.

Subdivide[xmin,xmax,n]

generates the list of values from subdividing the interval xmin to xmax.

Details

  • Subdivide[…,n] generates a list of length n+1.

Basic Examples  (3)

Subdivide the unit interval into 10 equal parts:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[10]

Subdivide the interval 0 to 10 into 5 equal parts:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[10, 5]

Subdivide the interval to 1 into 8 equal parts using machine precision:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide [-1., 1., 8]

Scope  (2)

Subdivide a symbolic interval from a to b into 6 parts:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[a, b, 6]

Subdivide the interval from E to Pi using exact arithmetic:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[E, Pi, 4]

Use arbitrary-precision arithmetic starting with 21 digits:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[N[E, 21], N[Pi, 21], 4]

Properties & Relations  (3)

Subdivide[xmin,xmax,n] is equivalent to Range[xmin,xmax,(xmax-xmin)/n]:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[3, 11, 4]
Wolfram Language code: Range[3, 11, (11 - 3) / 4]

Subdivide[xmin,xmax,n] is equivalent to xmin+(xmax-xmin)Range[0,n]/n:

Wolfram Language code: Subdivide[-1, 2, 5]
Wolfram Language code: -1 + (2 - (-1))Range[0, 5] / 5

Array[f,n,{a,b}] is equivalent to Map[f,Subdivide[a,b,n-1]]:

Wolfram Language code: Array[f, 5, {2, 14}]
Wolfram Language code: Map[f, Subdivide[2, 14, 4]]
