# Documentation

elemIndex :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Maybe Int Source

The `elemIndex` function returns the index of the first element in the given list which is equal (by `==`) to the query element, or `Nothing` if there is no such element.

elemIndices :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> [Int]Source

The `elemIndices` function extends `elemIndex`, by returning the indices of all elements equal to the query element, in ascending order.

find :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Maybe aSource

The `find` function takes a predicate and a list and returns the first element in the list matching the predicate, or `Nothing` if there is no such element.

findIndex :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Maybe Int Source

The `findIndex` function takes a predicate and a list and returns the index of the first element in the list satisfying the predicate, or `Nothing` if there is no such element.

findIndices :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [Int]Source

The `findIndices` function extends `findIndex`, by returning the indices of all elements satisfying the predicate, in ascending order.

nub :: Eq a => [a] -> [a]Source

O(n^2). The `nub` function removes duplicate elements from a list. In particular, it keeps only the first occurrence of each element. (The name `nub` means `essence'.) It is a special case of `nubBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

nubBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `nubBy` function behaves just like `nub`, except it uses a user-supplied equality predicate instead of the overloaded `==` function.

delete :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> [a]Source

`delete` `x` removes the first occurrence of `x` from its list argument. For example,

     delete 'a' "banana" == "bnana"

It is a special case of `deleteBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

deleteBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> a -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `deleteBy` function behaves like `delete`, but takes a user-supplied equality predicate.

(\\) :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `\\` function is list difference ((non-associative). In the result of `xs` `\\` `ys`, the first occurrence of each element of `ys` in turn (if any) has been removed from `xs`. Thus

     (xs ++ ys) \\ xs == ys.

It is a special case of `deleteFirstsBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

deleteFirstsBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `deleteFirstsBy` function takes a predicate and two lists and returns the first list with the first occurrence of each element of the second list removed.

union :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `union` function returns the list union of the two lists. For example,

     "dog" `union` "cow" == "dogcw"

Duplicates, and elements of the first list, are removed from the the second list, but if the first list contains duplicates, so will the result. It is a special case of `unionBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

unionBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `unionBy` function is the non-overloaded version of `union`.

intersect :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `intersect` function takes the list intersection of two lists. For example,

     [1,2,3,4] `intersect` [2,4,6,8] == [2,4]

If the first list contains duplicates, so will the result.

     [1,2,2,3,4] `intersect` [6,4,4,2] == [2,2,4]

It is a special case of `intersectBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

intersectBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `intersectBy` function is the non-overloaded version of `intersect`.

intersperse :: a -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `intersperse` function takes an element and a list and `intersperses' that element between the elements of the list. For example,

     intersperse ',' "abcde" == "a,b,c,d,e"

transpose :: [[a]] -> [[a]]Source

The `transpose` function transposes the rows and columns of its argument. For example,

     transpose [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] == [[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]]

partition :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a])Source

The `partition` function takes a predicate a list and returns the pair of lists of elements which do and do not satisfy the predicate, respectively; i.e.,

     partition p xs == (filter p xs, filter (not . p) xs)

group :: Eq a => [a] -> [[a]]Source

The `group` function takes a list and returns a list of lists such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument. Moreover, each sublist in the result contains only equal elements. For example,

     group "Mississippi" = ["M","i","ss","i","ss","i","pp","i"]

It is a special case of `groupBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

groupBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [[a]]Source

The `groupBy` function is the non-overloaded version of `group`.

inits :: [a] -> [[a]]Source

The `inits` function returns all initial segments of the argument, shortest first. For example,

     inits "abc" == ["","a","ab","abc"]

tails :: [a] -> [[a]]Source

The `tails` function returns all final segments of the argument, longest first. For example,

     tails "abc" == ["abc", "bc", "c",""]

isPrefixOf :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Bool Source

The `isPrefixOf` function takes two lists and returns `True` iff the first list is a prefix of the second.

isSuffixOf :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Bool Source

The `isSuffixOf` function takes two lists and returns `True` iff the first list is a suffix of the second. Both lists must be finite.

mapAccumL :: (acc -> x -> (acc, y)) -> acc -> [x] -> (acc, [y])Source

The `mapAccumL` function behaves like a combination of `map` and `foldl`; it applies a function to each element of a list, passing an accumulating parameter from left to right, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new list.

mapAccumR :: (acc -> x -> (acc, y)) -> acc -> [x] -> (acc, [y])Source

The `mapAccumR` function behaves like a combination of `map` and `foldr`; it applies a function to each element of a list, passing an accumulating parameter from right to left, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new list.

sort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]Source

The `sort` function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of `sortBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

sortBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `sortBy` function is the non-overloaded version of `sort`.

insert :: Ord a => a -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `insert` function takes an element and a list and inserts the element into the list at the last position where it is still less than or equal to the next element. In particular, if the list is sorted before the call, the result will also be sorted. It is a special case of `insertBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

insertBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> a -> [a] -> [a]Source

The non-overloaded version of `insert`.

maximumBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> aSource

The `maximumBy` function takes a comparison function and a list and returns the greatest element of the list by the comparison function. The list must be finite and non-empty.

minimumBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> aSource

The `minimumBy` function takes a comparison function and a list and returns the least element of the list by the comparison function. The list must be finite and non-empty.

genericLength :: Num i => [b] -> iSource

The `genericLength` function is an overloaded version of `length`. In particular, instead of returning an `Int`, it returns any type which is an instance of `Num`. It is, however, less efficient than `length`.

genericTake :: Integral i => i -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `genericTake` function is an overloaded version of `take`, which accepts any `Integral` value as the number of elements to take.

genericDrop :: Integral i => i -> [a] -> [a]Source

The `unzip7` function takes a list of seven-tuples and returns seven lists, analogous to `unzip`.

unfoldr :: (b -> Maybe (a, b)) -> b -> [a]Source

The `unfoldr` function is a `dual' to `foldr`: while `foldr` reduces a list to a summary value, `unfoldr` builds a list from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns `Nothing` if it is done producing the list or returns `Just` `(a,b)`, in which case, `a` is a prepended to the list and `b` is used as the next element in a recursive call. For example,

     iterate f == unfoldr (\x -> Just (x, f x))

In some cases, `unfoldr` can undo a `foldr` operation:

     unfoldr f' (foldr f z xs) == xs

if the following holds:

     f' (f x y) = Just (x,y)
     f' z       = Nothing

A simple use of unfoldr:

     unfoldr (\b -> if b == 0 then Nothing else Just (b, b-1)) 10
      [10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]

map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]Source

`map` `f xs` is the list obtained by applying `f` to each element of `xs`, i.e.,

     map f [x1, x2, ...] == [f x1, f x2, ...]

(++) :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]Source

Append two lists, i.e.,

     [x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ..., yn] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ..., yn]
     [x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ...] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ...]

If the first list is not finite, the result is the first list.

     foldl f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == (...((z `f` x1) `f` x2) `f`...) `f` xn

The list must be finite.

foldl1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> aSource

`foldl1` is a variant of `foldl` that has no starting value argument, and thus must be applied to non-empty lists.

scanl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> [a]Source

`scanl` is similar to `foldl`, but returns a list of successive reduced values from the left:

     scanl f z [x1, x2, ...] == [z, z `f` x1, (z `f` x1) `f` x2, ...]

Note that

     drop 3 [1,2] == []
     drop 3 [] == []
     drop (-1) [1,2] == [1,2]
     drop 0 [1,2] == [1,2]

It is an instance of the more general `Data.List.genericDrop`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.

splitAt :: Int -> [a] -> ([a], [a])Source

`splitAt` `n xs` returns a tuple where first element is `xs` prefix of length `n` and second element is the remainder of the list:

     splitAt 6 "Hello World!" == ("Hello ","World!")
     splitAt 3 [1,2,3,4,5] == ([1,2,3],[4,5])
     splitAt 1 [1,2,3] == ([1],[2,3])
     splitAt 3 [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[])

     splitAt 0 [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3])
     splitAt (-1) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3])

It is equivalent to `(`take` n xs, `drop` n xs)`. `splitAt` is an instance of the more general `Data.List.genericSplitAt`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.

takeWhile :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]Source

`takeWhile`, applied to a predicate `p` and a list `xs`, returns the longest prefix (possibly empty) of `xs` of elements that satisfy `p`:

     takeWhile (< 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == [1,2]
     takeWhile (< 9) [1,2,3] == [1,2,3]
     takeWhile (< 0) [1,2,3] == []

dropWhile :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]Source

`span`, applied to a predicate `p` and a list `xs`, returns a tuple where first element is longest prefix (possibly empty) of `xs` of elements that satisfy `p` and second element is the remainder of the list:

     span (< 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == ([1,2],[3,4,1,2,3,4])
     span (< 9) [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[])
     span (< 0) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3])

`span` `p xs` is equivalent to `(`takeWhile` p xs, `dropWhile` p xs)`

break :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a])Source

`break`, applied to a predicate `p` and a list `xs`, returns a tuple where first element is longest prefix (possibly empty) of `xs` of elements that do not satisfy `p` and second element is the remainder of the list:

     break (> 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == ([1,2,3],[4,1,2,3,4])
     break (< 9) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3])
     break (> 9) [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[])

`break` `p` is equivalent to ``span` (`not` . p)`.

lines :: String -> [String]Source

`lines` breaks a string up into a list of strings at newline characters. The resulting strings do not contain newlines.

words :: String -> [String]Source

`words` breaks a string up into a list of words, which were delimited by white space.

unlines :: [String] -> String Source

`unlines` is an inverse operation to `lines`. It joins lines, after appending a terminating newline to each.

unwords :: [String] -> String Source

`unwords` is an inverse operation to `words`. It joins words with separating spaces.

reverse :: [a] -> [a]Source

`reverse` `xs` returns the elements of `xs` in reverse order. `xs` must be finite.

and :: [Bool] -> Bool Source

`and` returns the conjunction of a Boolean list. For the result to be `True`, the list must be finite; `False`, however, results from a `False` value at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

or :: [Bool] -> Bool Source

`or` returns the disjunction of a Boolean list. For the result to be `False`, the list must be finite; `True`, however, results from a `True` value at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

any :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool Source

Applied to a predicate and a list, `any` determines if any element of the list satisfies the predicate. For the result to be `False`, the list must be finite; `True`, however, results from a `True` value for the predicate applied to an element at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

all :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool Source

Applied to a predicate and a list, `all` determines if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate. For the result to be `True`, the list must be finite; `False`, however, results from a `False` value for the predicate applied to an element at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

elem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool Source

`elem` is the list membership predicate, usually written in infix form, e.g., `x `elem` xs`. For the result to be `False`, the list must be finite; `True`, however, results from an element equal to `x` found at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

notElem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool Source

`notElem` is the negation of `elem`.

lookup :: Eq a => a -> [(a, b)] -> Maybe bSource

`lookup` `key assocs` looks up a key in an association list.

sum :: Num a => [a] -> aSource

The `sum` function computes the sum of a finite list of numbers.

product :: Num a => [a] -> aSource

The `product` function computes the product of a finite list of numbers.

maximum :: Ord a => [a] -> aSource

`maximum` returns the maximum value from a list, which must be non-empty, finite, and of an ordered type. It is a special case of `maximumBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

minimum :: Ord a => [a] -> aSource

`minimum` returns the minimum value from a list, which must be non-empty, finite, and of an ordered type. It is a special case of `minimumBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]Source

Map a function over a list and concatenate the results.

zip :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a, b)]Source

`zip` takes two lists and returns a list of corresponding pairs. If one input list is short, excess elements of the longer list are discarded.

zip3 :: [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [(a, b, c)]Source

`zip3` takes three lists and returns a list of triples, analogous to `zip`.

zipWith :: (a -> b -> c) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c]Source

`zipWith` generalises `zip` by zipping with the function given as the first argument, instead of a tupling function. For example, ``zipWith` (+)` is applied to two lists to produce the list of corresponding sums.

zipWith3 :: (a -> b -> c -> d) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d]Source

The `zipWith3` function takes a function which combines three elements, as well as three lists and returns a list of their point-wise combination, analogous to `zipWith`.

unzip :: [(a, b)] -> ([a], [b])Source

`unzip` transforms a list of pairs into a list of first components and a list of second components.

unzip3 :: [(a, b, c)] -> ([a], [b], [c])Source

The `unzip3` function takes a list of triples and returns three lists, analogous to `unzip`.
