list-copy* LIST START END FILLprocedure: Returns a copy of LIST, from START until END, where END maybe > (length LIST)). In which case FILL is used.

make-list/as

make-list/as OBJprocedure

Returns a procedure producing a list of the supplied object OBJ, of length equal to the integer or the (length list).

(define falses (make-list/as #f))
(falses '(1 2)) ;=> (#f #f)
(falses 1)      ;=> (#f)

Usage

(import (list-utils operations))

skip+

skip+ LIST COUNTprocedure

Returns 2 values, the COUNT pair from LIST, and the remaining count. The remaining count will be zero when end-of-list reached.

COUNT is a natural fixnum.

(skip+ '(1 2) 3) ;=> '() 1
(skip+ '(1 2 3) 3) ;=> '() 0
(skip+ '(1 2 3 4) 3) ;=> '(4) 0

list-unique/duplicates

list-unique/duplicates LS #!optional EQAL?procedure

Returns 2 values, the sorted list w/o duplicates & the list of duplicates.

EQAL?: a b -> * ; the equality predicate.

list-unique

list-unique LS #!optional EQAL?procedure

Returns the sorted list w/o duplicates.

EQAL?: a b -> * ; the equality predicate.

split-at+

split-at+ LIST COUNT #!optional PADSprocedure

Returns 2 values, the leading COUNT elements from LIST as a new list, and the remaining elements from LIST. Should there be fewer than COUNT elements available padding is attempted.

Padding is performed by trying to complete the remaining elements from the list PADS.

COUNT is a natural fixnum. PADS is a list or #f. Default is '().

A negative COUNT is treated as 0.

When PADS is #f then an incomplete leading sublist is treated as '(). The very odd treatment of PADS = #f can safely be ignored since this is not the default behavior.

(split-at+ '(1 2 3) 3) ;=> '(1 2 3) '()
(split-at+ '(1 2 3) 2) ;=> '(1 2) '(3)
(split-at+ '(1 2 3) 4) ;=> '(1 2 3) '()
(split-at+ '(1 2 3) 4 #f) ;=> '() '()

section

(section LIST SIZE [[STEP] PADS]) -> listprocedure

Returns a list of list, built by taking SIZE elements from LIST every STEP elements. When too few elements remain to complete a section padding is performed.

SIZE is a positive fixnum. STEP is a positive fixnum. Default is SIZE. PADS is a list or #f. Default is '().

When PADS is #f then any incomplete trailing section is dropped. The very odd treatment of PADS = #f can safely be ignored since this is not the default behavior.

(section '(1 2) 3 3 '(3 4 5)) ;=> ((1 2 3))
(section '(1 2 3) 2 1 '(3 4 5)) ;=> ((1 2) (2 3))
(section '(1 2 3) 2 2 '(4 5)) ;=> ((1 2) (3 4))
(section '(1 2 3) 2 2) ;=> ((1 2) (3))

shift!

shift! LIST #!optional DEFAULTprocedure

Returns the first element of LIST, or DEFAULT when LIST is null.

The car and cdr of the first pair of LIST are set to the corresponding element of the second pair.

Like a stack-pop.

unshift!

unshift! OBJECT LISTprocedure

The car of the first pair of LIST is set to OBJECT. The cdr of the first pair of LIST is set to LIST.

Like a stack-push.

shift!/set

(shift!/set VARIABLE [WHEN-EMPTY])syntax

Like shift! but assigns the VARIABLE '() after shifting from a list of length 1.

WHEN-EMPTY, which defaults to #f, is returned when the list bound to VARIABLE is empty.

andmap

andmap FUNC LIST...procedure

The arity of the function FUNC must be the length of LIST....

(and (FUNC (car LIST)...) (andmap FUNC (cdr LIST)...)).

ormap

ormap FUNC LIST...procedure

The arity of the function FUNC must be the length of LIST....

(or (FUNC (car LIST)...) (ormap FUNC (cdr LIST)...)).

Usage

(import (list-utils alist))

alist-delete-first

(alist-delete-first KEY ALIST [TEST?])syntax: Returns (alist-delete-with-count KEY ALIST [TEST?] 1).

alist-delete-first!

(alist-delete-first! KEY ALIST [TEST?])syntax: Destructive version of alist-delete-first.

assoc-def

(assoc-def KEY ALIST [TEST] [NOT-FOUND])syntax

The assoc procedure with an optional test and default value.

Error signaling version of assoc. When the KEY is not found and a NOT-FOUND value is not supplied an error is invoked.

assv-def

(assv-def KEY ALIST [NOT-FOUND])syntax

The assv procedure with a default value.

Error signaling version of assv. When the KEY is not found and a NOT-FOUND value is not supplied an error is invoked.

assq-def

(assq-def KEY ALIST [NOT-FOUND])syntax

The assq procedure with a default value.

Error signaling version of assq. When the KEY is not found and a NOT-FOUND value is not supplied an error is invoked.

alist-inverse-ref

alist-inverse-ref VALUE ALIST #!optional TEST? NOT-FOUNDprocedure

Returns the first key associated with VALUE in the ALIST using the TEST? predicate, else NOT-FOUND.

TEST? is eqv? and NOT-FOUND is #f.

alist-delete-duplicates

alist-delete-duplicates KEY ALIST #!optional TEST? COUNTprocedure

Deletes the first COUNT associations from alist ALIST with the given key KEY, using key-comparison procedure TEST?. The dynamic order in which the various applications of equality are made is from the alist head to the tail.

Returns a new alist. The alist is not disordered - elements that appear in the result alist occur in the same order as they occur in the argument alist.

The equality procedure is used to compare the element keys, key[i: 0 <= i < (length ALIST)', of the alist's entries to the key parameter in this way: (TEST? KEY key[i]).

COUNT defaults to unlimited, & EQUALITY? defaults to eqv?.

alist-delete-duplicates!

alist-delete-duplicates! KEY ALIST #!optional TEST? COUNTprocedure

Destructive version of alist-delete-with-count.

alist-delete-first and alist-delete-first! are also available.

sort-alist

sort-alist ALIST #!optional LESSPprocedure

ALIST: (list-of pair) ; less-than procedure, default <.
LESSP: (* * --> boolean) ; less-than procedure, default <.

sort-alist!

sort-alist! ALIST #!optional LESSPprocedure

ALIST: (list-of pair) ; less-than procedure, default <.
LESSP: (* * --> boolean) ; less-than procedure, default <.

unzip-alist

unzip-alist ALISTprocedure: Returns 2 values, a list of the keys & a list of the values from the ALIST.

zip-alist

zip-alist KEYS VALUESprocedure: Returns an association list with elements from the corresponding items of KEYS and VALUES.

plist->alist

plist->alist PLISTprocedure: Returns the association-list form of PLIST.

alist->plist

alist->plist ALISTprocedure: Returns the property-list form of ALIST.

list-utils sample

Usage

(import (list-utils sample))

list-randoms

list-randoms CNT #!optional END LOW DUPS?procedure

Returns list of random integers in the open-interval [LOW END).

CNT: fixnum ; length of result list.
END: integer ; maximum value + 1, default most-positive-fixnum.
LOW: integer ; minimum value, default 0.
DUPS?: boolean ; allow duplicates, default #f.

list-random-sample

list-random-sample LS #!optional CNTprocedure

Returns list of elements randomly sampled from LS.

CNT: fixnum ; length of result list, default is random in [0 (- (length LS) 1)].

list-cyclic-sample

list-cyclic-sample LS #!optional CNTprocedure

Returns list of elements, sampled every CNT elements, from LS.

Every element i in [0 length(LS)-1] where i modulo CNT = 0; so first element always included.

CNT: fixnum ; cycle length, default is 7.

list-utils comma)

Usage

(import (list-utils comma))

list->comma-string

list->comma-string LS #!optional EMPTY? COMMAprocedure

Returns list elements, as strings, joined with COMMA.
