lazy-seq

Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

A lazy sequence implementation inspired by Clojure's. It is an alternative to SRFI 41. See this article for the motivation of creating this egg and a comparison with SRFI 41.

API

make-lazy-seq bodyprocedure

Returns a lazy-seq object. body is a thunk which will be called when the sequence is realized. It is expected to return one of the following things:

The empty list to signify the end of the sequence
A pair with the sequence's head in the car and a lazy-seq representing the sequence's tail in the cdr
Another lazy-seq which will be realized recursively when the sequence is realized

(lazy-seq body ...)syntax: Convenience syntax for make-lazy-seq with body ... being the thunk's body.

lazy-seq? seqprocedure: Predicate for checking whether seq is a lazy-seq.

lazy-seq-realized? seqprocedure: Predicate for checking whether seq has already been realized.

lazy-null? seqprocedure: Predicate for checking whether seq is null. Realizes seq.

lazy-list #!rest elementsprocedure: Returns a realized lazy-seq of elements.

lazy-nullconstant: A null lazy-seq.

lazy-seq->list seqprocedure: Completely realizes seq and returns a list of its elements. Should not be called on infinite sequences.

list->lazy-seq listprocedure: Turns list into a realized lazy-seq.

lazy-head seqprocedure: Realizes seq and returns its head.

lazy-tail seqprocedure: Realizes seq and returns its tail.

lazy-length seqprocedure: Completely realizes seq and returns its length. Should not be called on infinite sequences.

lazy-append seqs ...procedure: Returns a lazy-seq representing the concatenation of seqs.

lazy-concatenate seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq representing the concatenation of the lazy-seqs contained in seq.

lazy-append-map proc seqs ...procedure: Returns a lazy-seq which is the concatenation of lazy-seqs resulting from applying proc to each element in seqs.

lazy-reverse seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of the reversed seq. Note that even realizing just the head of the returned lazy-seq will realize seq completely. Infinite sequences can't be reversed.

lazy-take n seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of the first n elements of seq.

lazy-drop n seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of all but the first n elements of seq.

lazy-take-while pred? seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of all leading elements of seq satisfying pred?.

lazy-drop-while pred? seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of seq without all leading elements satisfying pred?.

lazy-ref n seqprocedure: Realizes seq up to the nth element and returns that element.

lazy-map proc seqs ...procedure: Returns a lazy-seq of applying proc to each element in seqs. Terminates with the sortest of seqs.

lazy-filter pred? seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of elements from seq satisfying pred?.

lazy-each proc seqs ...procedure: Completely realizes seqs and applies proc to each item for its side-effect. Terminates with the sortest of seqs.

lazy-fold kons init seqprocedure: Completely realizes seq, iterating over each value and accumulating a result, similar to fold from srfi-1.

lazy-flatten seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of elements from seq, expanding any contained lazy-seq elements. The result is a single flat lazy-seq.

lazy-iterate proc xprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq with a head of x and a tail of applying proc to the preceding element.

lazy-repeat xprocedure: Returns an infinite lazy-seq of x.

lazy-repeatedly thunkprocedure: Returns an infinite lazy-seq of the return value of thunk at the time an element is realized.

lazy-cycle seqprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq which infinitely cycles through seq.

lazy-numbers #!key (step 1) (start 0) countprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of numbers starting at start and increasing by step. When count is a positive number the sequence terminates after count elements. Otherwise it is infinte.

input-port->lazy-seq port readprocedure: Returns a lazy-seq of the results of applying read to port (which must be an input port). The sequence terminates when read returns #!eof. The port is not closed automatically by this procedure.

lazy-seq->string seqprocedure: Completely realizes a seq of characters and returns a string consisting of those characters. Should not be called on infinite sequences.

string->lazy-seq stringprocedure: Turns string into a realized lazy-seq of characters.

Examples

Defining a custom lazy-seq

(define odd-numbers
  (let next ((n 0))
    (lazy-seq
      (if (odd? n)
        (cons n (next (+ n 1)))
        (next (+ n 1))))))

(lazy-ref 5 odd-numbers) ; => 11

Note that odd-numbers can be defined more conveniently like this:

(define odd-numbers
  (lazy-filter odd? (lazy-numbers)))
