Gather

Gather[list]
gathers the elements of list into sublists of identical elements.
Gather[list, test]
applies test to pairs of elements to determine if they should be considered identical.
  • The default function used to test whether elements are identical is SameQ.
  • Gather[{e1, e2, ...}, p] will gather together elements for which p[ei, ej] returns True.
