By an unfortunate combination of key-presses (there may have been a cat involved), this crept up in my code and I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out why in the world <code>f x</code> was being interpreted as <code>f[x]</code>. Example:</p>
<p><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/2Hxll.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>Now there is no way I could've spotted this visually. The <code>*Form</code>s weren't of much help either. If you're careful enough, you can see an invisible character between <code>f</code> and <code>x</code> if you move your cursor across the expression. Eventually, I found this out only by looking at the contents of the cell. </p>
<p>There's also <code>\[InvisibleSpace]</code>, <code>\[InvisibleComma]</code> and <code>\[ImplicitPlus]</code>, which are analogous to the above. There must be some use for these (perhaps internally), which is why it has been implemented in the first place. I can see the use for invisible space (lets you place superscripts/subscripts without needing anything visible to latch on to), and invisible comma (lets you use indexing like in math). It's the invisible apply that has me wondering...</p>
<p>The only advantage I can see is to sort of visually obfuscate the code. Where (or how) is this used (perhaps internally?), and can I disable it? If it's possible to disable, will there be any side effects?</p>

So with this input:</p>
<pre><code>test = RandomInteger[{-25, 25}, {20, 2}]
{{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {-8, -19}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {-3, -25}, {21, -18}, {4, 4}, {2, -2}, {-24, 8}, {-17, -8}, {4, -18}, {22, -24}, {-4, -3}, {21, 0}, {19, 18}, {-23, -8}, {23, -25}, {14, -2}, {-1, -13}}
</code></pre>
<p>You can get the following equivalent results:</p>
<pre><code>Cases[test, {_, _?Positive}]
{{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}}
Select[test, #[[2]] &gt; 0 &amp;]
{{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}}
Pick[test, Sign[test[[All, 2]] ], 1]
{{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}}
test[[Flatten#Position[test[[All, 2]], _?Positive] ]]
{{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}}
</code></pre>
<p>Are there performance or other considerations that should guide which you should use? For example, is the pattern-matching used in <code>Cases</code> likely to be slower than the functional tests used in <code>Select</code>? Are there any generic rules of thumb, or is testing the particular case you are using the only solution?</p>

Answer 1

If you want load the xml data below is the following code
A = LOAD '$input' using
org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.XMLLoader('row')
as (x:chararray);
B = FOREACH A GENERATE x;
dump B;
