[Maxima-bugs] [maxima:bugs] #4637 error partition_set

[Barton W. <wil...@us...>]

- **status**: open --> not-a-bug
- **Comment**:

The first argument to  must be a set, and the second must be a predicate (a boolean valued function).

For the example you gave, the first entry is an integer, not a set, and the second is not even a function. 

The user documentation for `partition_set`gives some examples that should clarify how to use this function.

Possibly, you want to use the function 'integer_partitions`. 

Closing this ticket as `not-a-bug`.

partition_set(3,length(lis)=2)

instead of giving the correct answer of [[0,3], [ 1,2]) 
it gives error  like length argument cannot be a symbol.....
ok so it doesn't print out the 0' so i do
partition_set(3,length(lis)<3)
still gives same error
