Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

xs = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6]
print(unique(xs))          # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]

print(sort(xs))            # [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]

print(argsort(xs))         # permutation of indices, ascending

print(sort(xs, true))      # descending

output

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9]
[1, 3, 6, 0, 2, 4, 7, 5]
[9, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1]
