mingle -- mingle elements of several lists

mingle -- mingle elements of several lists

mingle {v,w,...} -- produces a new list from the lists or sequences v,w,... by taking the first element from each, then the second, and so on.
mingle (v,w,...) -- does the same.

After one of the lists is exhausted, it is silently ignored.

i1 : mingle({1,2,3,4},{a},{F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F,F})



o1 = {1, a, F, 2, F, 3, F, 4, F, F, F, F, F, F, F}



o1 : List

i2 : concatenate mingle( {"a","b","c"} , {",",","} )



o2 = a,b,c

It is easy to transpose a nested list (thinking of it as a matrix) using mingle and pack.

i3 : pack(2, mingle {{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8}})



o3 = {{1, 5}, {2, 6}, {3, 7}, {4, 8}}



o3 : List
