/** | |
* Takes a predicate and a list of values and returns a a tuple (2-item array), | |
* with each item containing the subset of the list that matches the predicate | |
* and the complement of the predicate respectively | |
* | |
* @sig (T -> Boolean, T[]) -> [T[], T[]] | |
* | |
* @param {Function} predicate A predicate to determine which side the element belongs to. | |
* @param {Array} arr The list to partition | |
* | |
* Inspired by the Ramda function of the same name | |
* @see https://ramdajs.com/docs/#partition | |
* | |
* @example | |
* | |
* const isNegative: (n: number) => boolean = n => n < 0 | |
* const numbers = [1, 2, -4, -7, 4, 22] | |
* partition(isNegative, numbers) | |
* // => [ [-4, -7], [1, 2, 4, 22] ] | |
