# each, peach

Syntax: v1 each x, each[v1;x], v1 peach x, peach[v1;x]
Syntax: (vv)each x, each[vv;x], (vv)peach x, peach[vv;x]

Where

applies v1 or vv as a unary to each item of x and returns a result of the same length.

That is, the projections each[v1;], each[vv;], each[v1;], and peach[vv;] are uniform functions.

each and peach perform the same computation and return the same result. peach will divide the work between available slave tasks.

each is a wrapper for the Each iterator. peach is a wrapper for the Each Parallel iterator. It is good q style to use each and peach for unary values.

## Higher-rank values

peach applies only unary values. For a values of rank ≥2, use Apply to project v as a unary value.

For example, suppose m is a 4-column matrix and each row has values for the arguments of v4. Then .[v4;]peach m will apply v4 to each list of arguments.

Alternatively, suppose t is a table in which columns b, c, and a are arguments of v3. Then .[v3;]peach flip t bca will apply v3 to the arguments in each row of t`.
