Yes, that’s what I was saying:

for each group:

for i in steps of #groups:

assign item to this group

I think that’s a lot easier to comprehend than the modulus trick

For a lot of people the modulo approach isn't a "trick", it's just the intuitive way to split items into residue classes. And it's likely a little more cache-efficient.

  • well clearly your comment is meant to demonstrate that it’s a clumsy approach in a 1-indexed syntax, so perhaps a different technique would be more facile here… such as a counting method :)
