Level

Level[expr,levelspec]

gives a list of all subexpressions of expr on levels specified by levelspec.

Level[expr,levelspec,f]

applies f to the sequence of subexpressions.

Details and Options

  • Level uses standard level specifications:
  • nlevels 1 through
    Infinitylevels 1 through Infinity
    {n}level only
    {n1,n2}levels through
  • Level[expr,{-1}] gives a list of all "atomic" objects in expr.
  • A positive level consists of all parts of expr specified by indices.
  • A negative level consists of all parts of expr with depth .
  • Level 0 corresponds to the whole expression.
  • With the option setting Heads->True, Level includes heads of expressions and their parts.
  • Level traverses expressions in depth‐first order, so that the subexpressions in the final list are ordered lexicographically by their indices.

Basic Examples  (6)

Give all parts at level -1:

Give all parts down to level 2:

Give all parts at levels 0 through infinity:

Get all leaves from an Association:

Values in an Association are at the first level:

Give elements from nested associations:

Generalizations & Extensions  (5)

Down successive numbers of levels:

Negative levels:

Ranges of levels:

Use different heads at each level:

Including heads:

Applications  (1)

Find the leaf elements in an expression:

Include heads:

Find unique leaf expressions:

Properties & Relations  (2)

Level always lists parts in the lexicographic order of their indices:

Depth[expr] is the smallest positive-level k for which Level[expr,{k}] returns an empty list:

Possible Issues  (1)

Level by default starts at level 1, so it does not include the whole expression:
