Vectors are not numbered correctly

So I'm trying to add vectors like this.. 5 elements into 2 groups so the result would be like [[0, 1,2], [3, 4]]..
However, I get [[0, 2], [0, 1]]
I can't seem to figure out why the output is printed this way..

 for _k in 0..num_partitions-1{
      let mut x_y : Vec<usize> = Vec::new();
      for i in 0..partition_size{
        x_y.push(v[ss]);
        if add <= ex && ex != 0 && ss != partition_size{
          //push extra to the first few
          x_i.push(v[ss]);
          //x_y.push(v[add]);
          increment(&mut ss);
          if add <= ex && ss != partition_size{
            x_i.push(v[ss]);
            //x_y.push(v[ss]);
            add+=1;
            increment(&mut ss);
          }
        }
        else if add >= ex && ss != partition_size{
          for i in 0..partition_size{
            x_i.push(v[ss]);
            increment(&mut ss);
          }
          /*x_i.push(v[ss]);
          increment(&mut ss);*/
        }
      }
      ks.push(x_y);
    }
    ks.push(x_i);

It is almost impossible to understand your code like this. You should try to provide a complete code example. Optimal would be either a playground link or, if this is part of a larger project, e.g. a link to a github repo. Try to create a test or a main function that calls into this code and prints the result (or uses assert_eq, etc), so that we can witness the result of "[[0, 2], [0, 1]]" the same way that you did.

Okay, this is the most obvious problem:

    for _k in 0..num_partitions - 1 {
        let mut x_y: Vec<usize> = Vec::new();
        for i in 0..partition_size {
            x_y.push(v[ss]);
+           increment(&mut ss);
            if add <= ex && ex != 0 && ss != partition_size {
                //push extra to the first few
                x_i.push(v[ss]);
                //x_y.push(v[add]);
                increment(&mut ss);
                if add <= ex && ss != partition_size {
                    x_i.push(v[ss]);
                    //x_y.push(v[ss]);
                    add += 1;
                    increment(&mut ss);
                }
            } else if add >= ex && ss != partition_size {
                for i in 0..partition_size {
                    x_i.push(v[ss]);
                    increment(&mut ss);
                }
                /*x_i.push(v[ss]);
                increment(&mut ss);*/
            }
        }
        ks.push(x_y);
    }

For some simplified, alternative implementation, look at this:

fn partition_data(num_partitions: usize, v: &[usize]) -> Vec<Vec<usize>> {
    let partition_size = v.len() / num_partitions;
    let extra = v.len() % num_partitions;
    let (v1, v2) = v.split_at(extra * (partition_size + 1));
    v1.chunks(partition_size + 1)
        .chain(v2.chunks(partition_size))
        .map(|chunk| chunk.to_vec())
        .collect()
}

(Note that you can still pass an &Vec<usize> to a function expecting &[usize].)

(example playground)
