Feature request: "row-major" product()
fjarri opened this issue · comments
Currently product()
iterates over its parameters in a "column-major" order (I guess, to be consistent with the order of array indices). I believe it would be useful to be able to iterate in a row-major order as well (that is, the first iterable changes the slowest). Of course, one can piggy-back on product
, passing it reverse()
ed arguments, and reverse()
ing back the results of next()
, but it makes the iteration several times slower.
Logic-wise, the only thing that will need to change is the iteration in next()
— from for i in 1:n
to for i in n:-1:1
. I am not sure how to handle the eltype()
properly. Perhaps a parametrization of Product
on a value type is needed?
