How do I use drop to drop the second element from all these sublists?

{{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}}




I tried to do this:



Drop[#, {2}] & @@ {{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}}


but it gave




{1}




but what I want is




{{1},{2},{5}}







list-manipulation

  • I'd like to add to the answers here that the correct function for dropping a single element is Delete, not Drop. Drop is the opposite of Take.

  • Welcome to Mathematica.SE user62264! I suggest the following: 1) As you receive help, try to give it too, by answering questions in your area of expertise. 2) Take the tour and check the faqs! 3) When you see good questions and answers, vote them up by clicking the gray triangles, because the credibility of the system is based on the reputation gained by users sharing their knowledge. Also, please remember to accept the answer, if any, that solves your problem, by clicking the checkmark sign!

    Your result is the first column of a matrix. If list={{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {5, 4}} ,



    res=list[[All, 1]]


    If you need the brackets around each element, Partition[res, 1]



    If your lists are of unequal length, the solution from Lukas Lang is fine. I include for completeness.

Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel.

                      Image
                      0 I have developed a report which has 5 dynamic row groups from where users can choose in parameter selection. The report has 12 parameters so that user can get required information as per their parameter choice. Each parameter has multi value selection option with numerous lists of values (example: Customer parameter has 35,000 values and Item parameter has 2,500 values). Now, the report takes huge time to load parameter values as well as slow in preview (although, server resource is adequate). I am looking for a solution to improve the parameter selection performance without reducing the number of parameter and dynamic grouping sql-server reporting-services ssrs-2012 share | improve this question
