I've been working through problems on Project Euler, and some of the solutions that other people have posted use a triple-at-sign, i.e. '@@@'. In the help browser for v7, I find an entry for @@ (which says it's the infix version of 'Apply') but none for @@@. What does it mean?
EDIT: Here's an example, which I think I can post without violating the spirit of Project Euler:
bloc[n_, f_][t_] := {f @@@ #, #~Tr~f} & /@ Join @@ Partition[t, {n, n}, 1]; As others have noted, @@@ is, technically, shorthand for Apply with an optional third argument, as is explained deep in the documentation for Apply.
But I like to think of
f @@@ {{a,b}, {c,d}, {e,i}} as shorthand for
f @@#& /@ {{a,b} {c,d}, {e,i}} In other words, take a pure function (shorthand: ...#...&) that does an Apply (shorthand: @@) to a list of arguments, and Map (shorthand: /@) that over a list of such lists of arguments. The result is
{f[a,b], f[c,d], f[e,i]} @@@ is the short form for Apply at level 1.
f @@@ {{a, b, c}, {d, e}} is equivalent to
Apply[f, {{a, b, c}, {d, e}}, {1}] Reference: http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Apply.html
You may need to expand the Scope and Level Specification sections.
f @@@ expr is equivalent to Apply[f, expr, {1}].
