Re: Redudant code for style purposes?

There are often multiple ways to do something with Mathematica. Which is
"better" could be based on code length, execution speed, clarity, first one
arrived at that works (task speed), individual style, individual knowledge
of Mathematica, etc. These can be influenced by the version of Mathematica
being used.


array = RandomReal[{0, 10}, 20];


Table[List @@ array[[i ;; i + 1]], {i, 1, 16}] ==
 Table[List @@ array[[{i, i + 1}]], {i, 16}] ==
 Table[List @@ array[[i ;; i + 1]], {i, 16}] ==
 Table[array[[{i, i + 1}]], {i, 16}] ==
 Table[array[[i ;; i + 1]], {i, 16}] ==
 Partition[array, 2, 1][[1 ;; 16]] ==
 Take[Partition[array, 2, 1], 16] ==
 Partition[Take[array, 17], 2, 1]


True
