Description

Group and delete duplicates from a list.

Synopsis

Grouping elements

group :: Ord a => [a] -> [[a]] Source #

O(n log(n)). Group the equal elements of the list together, in sorted order.

>>> group [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3]
[[1], [2, 2], [3, 3, 3]]
>>> group [1]
[[1]]
>>> group []
[]

groupBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> [[a]] Source #

O(n log(n)). Like group, with a custom comparison test. The grouping is stable, so if x, y are in the same group, and x appears before y in the original list, then x appears before y in the group.

>>> groupBy (comparing head) ["b1", "c1", "a1", "b2", "a2"]
[["a1", "a2"], ["b1", "b2"], ["c1"]]

groupAdj :: Eq a => [a] -> [[a]] Source #

O(n). Group adjacent elements that are equal. Works with infinite lists. Useful for grouping equal elements of a sorted list.

>>> groupAdj [1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3]
[[1], [3, 3, 3], [2, 2], [3]]
>>> take 4 $ groupAdj $ concatMap (\x -> replicate x x) [1..]
[[1], [2, 2], [3, 3, 3], [4, 4, 4, 4]]
>>> groupAdj []
[]
>>> groupAdj [1]
[[1]]

groupAdjBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [[a]] Source #

O(n). Like groupAdj, with a custom equality test.

>>> groupAdjBy ((==) `on` head) ["a1", "a2", "b1", "c1", "a3", "a4"]
[["a1", "a2"], ["b1"], ["c1"], ["a3", "a4"]]

Deleting duplicates

deleteDups :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] Source #

O(n log(n)). Delete duplicates from the list. Output is in sorted order.

>>> deleteDups [3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3]
[1, 2, 3]

deleteDupsBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> [a] Source #

O(n log(n)). Like deleteDups, with a custom comparison test. First appearances are kept.

>>> deleteDupsBy (comparing head) ["a1", "c1", "d1", "a2", "b1"]
["a1", "b1", "c1", "d1"]

deleteAdjDups :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] Source #

O(n). Delete adjacent duplicates from the list. Works with infinite lists. Useful for deleting duplicates from a sorted list. Remaining elements are in the same relative order.

>>> deleteAdjDups [1, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3]
[1, 3, 4, 3]

deleteAdjDupsBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] Source #

O(n). Like deleteAdjDups, with a custom equality test. First appearances are kept.

>>> deleteAdjDupsBy ((==) `on` head) ["a1", "a2", "b1", "b2", "a3", "a4"]
["a1", "b1", "a3]
