val a = List(1,1,1,0,0,2)
val b = List(1,0,3,2)
I want to get the List of indices of elements of "List b" which are existing in "List a".
Here output to be List(0,1,3)
I tried this
for(x <- a.filter(b.contains(_))) yield a.indexOf(x))
Sorry. I missed this. The list size may vary. Edited the Lists
Is there a better way to do this?
If you want a result of indices, it's often useful to start with indices.
b.indices.filter(a contains b(_))
REPL tested.
scala> val a = List(1,1,1,0,0,2)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2)
scala> val b = List(1,0,3,2)
b: List[Int] = List(1, 0, 3, 2)
scala> b.indices.filter(a contains b(_))
res0: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(0, 1, 3)
val result = (a zip b).zipWithIndex.flatMap {
case ((aItem, bItem), index) => if(aItem == bItem) Option(index) else None
}
a zip b will return all elements from a that have a matching pair in b.
For example, if a is longer, like in your example, the result would be List((1,1),(1,0),(1,3),(0,2)) (the list will be b.length long).
Then you need the index also, that's zipWithIndex.
Since you only want the indexes, you return an Option[Int] and flatten it.
You can use indexed for for this:
for{ i <- 0 to b.length-1
if (a contains b(i))
} yield i
scala> for(x <- b.indices.filter(a contains b(_))) yield x;
res27: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(0, 1, 3)
Here is another option:
scala> val a = List(1,1,1,0,0,2)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2)
scala> val b = List(1,0,3,2)
b: List[Int] = List(1, 0, 3, 2)
scala> b.zipWithIndex.filter(x => a.contains(x._1)).map(x => x._2)
res7: List[Int] = List(0, 1, 3)
I also want to point out that your original idea of: Finding elements in b that are in a and then getting indices of those elements would not work, unless all elements in b contained in a are unique, indexOf returns index of the first element. Just heads up.
Given a List of Int and variable X of Int type . What is the best in Scala functional way to retain only those values in the List (starting from beginning of list) such that sum of list values is less than equal to variable.
This is pretty close to a one-liner:
def takeWhileLessThan(x: Int)(l: List[Int]): List[Int] =
l.scan(0)(_ + _).tail.zip(l).takeWhile(_._1 <= x).map(_._2)
Let's break that into smaller pieces.
First you use scan to create a list of cumulative sums. Here's how it works on a small example:
scala> List(1, 2, 3, 4).scan(0)(_ + _)
res0: List[Int] = List(0, 1, 3, 6, 10)
Note that the result includes the initial value, which is why we take the tail in our implementation.
scala> List(1, 2, 3, 4).scan(0)(_ + _).tail
res1: List[Int] = List(1, 3, 6, 10)
Now we zip the entire thing against the original list. Taking our example again, this looks like the following:
scala> List(1, 2, 3, 4).scan(0)(_ + _).tail.zip(List(1, 2, 3, 4))
res2: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,1), (3,2), (6,3), (10,4))
Now we can use takeWhile to take as many values as we can from this list before the cumulative sum is greater than our target. Let's say our target is 5 in our example:
scala> res2.takeWhile(_._1 <= 5)
res3: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,1), (3,2))
This is almost what we want—we just need to get rid of the cumulative sums:
scala> res2.takeWhile(_._1 <= 5).map(_._2)
res4: List[Int] = List(1, 2)
And we're done. It's worth noting that this isn't very efficient, since it computes the cumulative sums for the entire list, etc. The implementation could be optimized in various ways, but as it stands it's probably the simplest purely functional way to do this in Scala (and in most cases the performance won't be a problem, anyway).
In addition to Travis' answer (and for the sake of completeness), you can always implement these type of operations as a foldLeft:
def takeWhileLessThanOrEqualTo(maxSum: Int)(list: Seq[Int]): Seq[Int] = {
// Tuple3: the sum of elements so far; the accumulated list; have we went over x, or in other words are we finished yet
val startingState = (0, Seq.empty[Int], false)
val (_, accumulatedNumbers, _) = list.foldLeft(startingState) {
case ((sum, accumulator, finished), nextNumber) =>
if(!finished) {
if (sum + nextNumber > maxSum) (sum, accumulator, true) // We are over the sum limit, finish
else (sum + nextNumber, accumulator :+ nextNumber, false) // We are still under the limit, add it to the list and sum
} else (sum, accumulator, finished) // We are in a finished state, just keep iterating over the list
}
accumulatedNumbers
}
This only iterates over the list once, so it should be more efficient, but is more complicated and requires a bit of reading code to understand.
I will go with something like this, which is more functional and should be efficient.
def takeSumLessThan(x:Int,l:List[Int]): List[Int] = (x,l) match {
case (_ , List()) => List()
case (x, _) if x<= 0 => List()
case (x, lh :: lt) => lh :: takeSumLessThan(x-lh,lt)
}
Edit 1 : Adding tail recursion and implicit for shorter call notation
import scala.annotation.tailrec
implicit class MyList(l:List[Int]) {
def takeSumLessThan(x:Int) = {
#tailrec
def f(x:Int,l:List[Int],acc:List[Int]) : List[Int] = (x,l) match {
case (_,List()) => acc
case (x, _ ) if x <= 0 => acc
case (x, lh :: lt ) => f(x-lh,lt,acc ++ List(lh))
}
f(x,l,Nil)
}
}
Now you can use this like
List(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).takeSumLessThan(10)
I want to sum adjacent elements in scala and I'm not sure how to deal with the last element.
So I have a list:
val x = List(1,2,3,4)
And I want to sum adjacent elements using indices and map:
val size = x.indices.size
val y = x.indices.map(i =>
if (i < size - 1)
x(i) + x(i+1))
The problem is that this approach creates an AnyVal elemnt at the end:
res1: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[AnyVal] = Vector(3, 5, 7, ())
and if I try to sum the elements or another numeric method of the collection, it doesn't work:
error: could not find implicit value for parameter num: Numeric[AnyVal]
I tried to filter out the element using:
y diff List(Unit) or y diff List(AnyVal)
but it doesn't work.
Is there a better approach in scala to do this type of adjacent sum without using a foor loop?
For a more functional solution, you can use sliding to group the elements together in twos (or any number of them), then map to their sum.
scala> List(1, 2, 3, 4).sliding(2).map(_.sum).toList
res80: List[Int] = List(3, 5, 7)
What sliding(2) will do is create an intermediate iterator of lists like this:
Iterator(
List(1, 2),
List(2, 3),
List(3, 4)
)
So when we chain map(_.sum), we will map each inner List to it's own sum. toList will convert the Iterator back into a List.
You can try pattern matching and tail recursion also.
import scala.annotation.tailrec
#tailrec
def f(l:List[Int],r :List[Int]=Nil):List[Int] = {
l match {
case x :: xs :: xss =>
f(l.tail, r :+ (x + xs))
case _ => r
}
}
scala> f(List(1,2,3,4))
res4: List[Int] = List(3, 5, 7)
With a for comprehension by zipping two lists, the second with the first item dropped,
for ( (a,b) <- x zip x.drop(1) ) yield a+b
which results in
List(3, 5, 7)
I have a Scala List that contains some repeated numbers. I want to count the number of times a specific number will repeat itself. For example:
val list = List(1,2,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,5)
val repeats = list.takeWhile(_ == List(3,3)).size
And the val repeats would equal 2.
Obviously the above is pseudo-code and takeWhile will not find two repeated 3s since _ represents an integer. I tried mixing both takeWhile and take(2) but with little success. I also referred code from How to find count of repeatable elements in scala list but it appears the author is looking to achieve something different.
Thanks for your help.
This will work in this case:
val repeats = list.sliding(2).count(_.forall(_ == 3))
The sliding(2) method gives you an iterator of lists of elements and successors and then we just count where these two are equal to 3.
Question is if it creates the correct result to List(3, 3, 3)? Do you want that to be 2 or just 1 repeat.
val repeats = list.sliding(2).toList.count(_==List(3,3))
and more generally the following code returns tuples of element and repeats value for all elements:
scala> list.distinct.map(x=>(x,list.sliding(2).toList.count(_.forall(_==x))))
res27: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,0), (2,0), (3,2), (4,0), (8,0), (5,0))
which means that the element '3' repeats 2 times consecutively at 2 places and all others 0 times.
and also if we want element repeats 3 times consecutively we just need to modify the code as follows:
list.distinct.map(x=>(x,list.sliding(3).toList.count(_.forall(_==x))))
in SCALA REPL:
scala> val list = List(1,2,3,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,3,5)
list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 2, 8, 4, 3, 3, 3, 5)
scala> list.distinct.map(x=>(x,list.sliding(3).toList.count(_==List(x,x,x))))
res29: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,0), (2,0), (3,2), (4,0), (8,0), (5,0))
Even sliding value can be varied by defining a function as:
def repeatsByTimes(list:List[Int],n:Int) =
list.distinct.map(x=>(x,list.sliding(n).toList.count(_.forall(_==x))))
Now in REPL:
scala> val list = List(1,2,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,5)
list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 8, 4, 3, 3, 5)
scala> repeatsByTimes(list,2)
res33: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,0), (2,0), (3,2), (4,0), (8,0), (5,0))
scala> val list = List(1,2,3,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,3,2,4,3,3,3,5)
list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 2, 8, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 3, 5)
scala> repeatsByTimes(list,3)
res34: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,0), (2,0), (3,3), (4,0), (8,0), (5,0))
scala>
We can go still further like given a list of integers and given a maximum number
of consecutive repetitions that any of the element can occur in the list, we may need a list of 3-tuples representing (the element, number of repetitions of this element, at how many places this repetition occurred). this is more exhaustive information than the above. Can be achieved by writing a function like this:
def repeats(list:List[Int],maxRep:Int) =
{ var v:List[(Int,Int,Int)] = List();
for(i<- 1 to maxRep)
v = v ++ list.distinct.map(x=>
(x,i,list.sliding(i).toList.count(_.forall(_==x))))
v.sortBy(_._1) }
in SCALA REPL:
scala> val list = List(1,2,3,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,3,2,4,3,3,3,5)
list: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 2, 8, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 3, 5)
scala> repeats(list,3)
res38: List[(Int, Int, Int)] = List((1,1,1), (1,2,0), (1,3,0), (2,1,3),
(2,2,0), (2,3,0), (3,1,9), (3,2,6), (3,3,3), (4,1,3), (4,2,0), (4,3,0),
(5,1,1), (5,2,0), (5,3,0), (8,1,1), (8,2,0), (8,3,0))
scala>
These results can be understood as follows:
1 times the element '1' occurred at 1 places.
2 times the element '1' occurred at 0 places.
............................................
............................................
.............................................
2 times the element '3' occurred at 6 places..
.............................................
3 times the element '3' occurred at 3 places...
............................................and so on.
Thanks to Luigi Plinge I was able to use methods in run-length encoding to group together items in a list that repeat. I used some snippets from this page here: http://aperiodic.net/phil/scala/s-99/
var n = 0
runLengthEncode(totalFrequencies).foreach{ o =>
if(o._1 > 1 && o._2==subjectNumber) n+=1
}
n
The method runLengthEncode is as follows:
private def pack[A](ls: List[A]): List[List[A]] = {
if (ls.isEmpty) List(List())
else {
val (packed, next) = ls span { _ == ls.head }
if (next == Nil) List(packed)
else packed :: pack(next)
}
}
private def runLengthEncode[A](ls: List[A]): List[(Int, A)] =
pack(ls) map { e => (e.length, e.head) }
I'm not entirely satisfied that I needed to use the mutable var n to count the number of occurrences but it did the trick. This will count the number of times a number repeats itself no matter how many times it is repeated.
If you knew your list was not very long you could do it with Strings.
val list = List(1,2,3,3,4,2,8,4,3,3,5)
val matchList = List(3,3)
(matchList.mkString(",")).r.findAllMatchIn(list.mkString(",")).length
From you pseudocode I got this working:
val pairs = list.sliding(2).toList //create pairs of consecutive elements
val result = pairs.groupBy(x => x).map{ case(x,y) => (x,y.size); //group pairs and retain the size, which is the number of occurrences.
result will be a Map[List[Int], Int] so you can the count number like:
result(List(3,3)) // will return 2
I couldn't understand if you also want to check lists of several sizes, then you would need to change the parameter to sliding to the desired size.
def pack[A](ls: List[A]): List[List[A]] = {
if (ls.isEmpty) List(List())
else {
val (packed, next) = ls span { _ == ls.head }
if (next == Nil) List(packed)
else packed :: pack(next)
}
}
def encode[A](ls: List[A]): List[(Int, A)] = pack(ls) map { e => (e.length, e.head) }
val numberOfNs = list.distinct.map{ n =>
(n -> list.count(_ == n))
}.toMap
val runLengthPerN = runLengthEncode(list).map{ t => t._2 -> t._1}.toMap
val nRepeatedMostInSuccession = runLengthPerN.toList.sortWith(_._2 <= _._2).head._1
Where runLength is defined as below from scala's 99 problems problem 9 and scala's 99 problems problem 10.
Since numberOfNs and runLengthPerN are Maps, you can get the population count of any number in the list with numberOfNs(number) and the length of the longest repitition in succession with runLengthPerN(number). To get the runLength, just compute as above with runLength(list).map{ t => t._2 -> t._1 }.
Trying to learn a bit of Scala and ran into this problem. I found a solution for all combinations without repetions here and I somewhat understand the idea behind it but some of the syntax is messing me up. I also don't think the solution is appropriate for a case WITH repetitions. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a bit of code that I could work from. I have plenty of material on combinatorics and understand the problem and iterative solutions to it, I am just looking for the scala-y way of doing it.
Thanks
I understand your question now. I think the easiest way to achieve what you want is to do the following:
def mycomb[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(el <- l;
sl <- mycomb(n-1, l dropWhile { _ != el } ))
yield el :: sl
}
def comb[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] = mycomb(n, l.removeDuplicates)
The comb method just calls mycomb with duplicates removed from the input list. Removing the duplicates means it is then easier to test later whether two elements are 'the same'. The only change I have made to your mycomb method is that when the method is being called recursively I strip off the elements which appear before el in the list. This is to stop there being duplicates in the output.
> comb(3, List(1,2,3))
> List[List[Int]] = List(
List(1, 1, 1), List(1, 1, 2), List(1, 1, 3), List(1, 2, 2),
List(1, 2, 3), List(1, 3, 3), List(2, 2, 2), List(2, 2, 3),
List(2, 3, 3), List(3, 3, 3))
> comb(6, List(1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2))
> List[List[Int]] = List(
List(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), List(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2), List(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2),
List(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2), List(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2), List(1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2),
List(2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2))
Meanwhile, combinations have become integral part of the scala collections:
scala> val li = List (1, 1, 0, 0)
li: List[Int] = List(1, 1, 0, 0)
scala> li.combinations (2) .toList
res210: List[List[Int]] = List(List(1, 1), List(1, 0), List(0, 0))
As we see, it doesn't allow repetition, but to allow them is simple with combinations though: Enumerate every element of your collection (0 to li.size-1) and map to element in the list:
scala> (0 to li.length-1).combinations (2).toList .map (v=>(li(v(0)), li(v(1))))
res214: List[(Int, Int)] = List((1,1), (1,0), (1,0), (1,0), (1,0), (0,0))
I wrote a similar solution to the problem in my blog: http://gabrielsw.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-take-on-99-problems-in-scala-23-to.html
First I thought of generating all the possible combinations and removing the duplicates, (or use sets, that takes care of the duplications itself) but as the problem was specified with lists and all the possible combinations would be too much, I've came up with a recursive solution to the problem:
to get the combinations of size n, take one element of the set and append it to all the combinations of sets of size n-1 of the remaining elements, union the combinations of size n of the remaining elements.
That's what the code does
//P26
def combinations[A](n:Int, xs:List[A]):List[List[A]]={
def lift[A](xs:List[A]):List[List[A]]=xs.foldLeft(List[List[A]]())((ys,y)=>(List(y)::ys))
(n,xs) match {
case (1,ys)=> lift(ys)
case (i,xs) if (i==xs.size) => xs::Nil
case (i,ys)=> combinations(i-1,ys.tail).map(zs=>ys.head::zs):::combinations(i,ys.tail)
}
}
How to read it:
I had to create an auxiliary function that "lift" a list into a list of lists
The logic is in the match statement:
If you want all the combinations of size 1 of the elements of the list, just create a list of lists in which each sublist contains an element of the original one (that's the "lift" function)
If the combinations are the total length of the list, just return a list in which the only element is the element list (there's only one possible combination!)
Otherwise, take the head and tail of the list, calculate all the combinations of size n-1 of the tail (recursive call) and append the head to each one of the resulting lists (.map(ys.head::zs) ) concatenate the result with all the combinations of size n of the tail of the list (another recursive call)
Does it make sense?
The question was rephrased in one of the answers -- I hope the question itself gets edited too. Someone else answered the proper question. I'll leave that code below in case someone finds it useful.
That solution is confusing as hell, indeed. A "combination" without repetitions is called permutation. It could go like this:
def perm[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(el <- l;
sl <- perm(n-1, l filter (_ != el)))
yield el :: sl
}
If the input list is not guaranteed to contain unique elements, as suggested in another answer, it can be a bit more difficult. Instead of filter, which removes all elements, we need to remove just the first one.
def perm[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] = {
def perm1[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(el <- l;
(hd, tl) = l span (_ != el);
sl <- perm(n-1, hd ::: tl.tail))
yield el :: sl
}
perm1(n, l).removeDuplicates
}
Just a bit of explanation. In the for, we take each element of the list, and return lists composed of it followed by the permutation of all elements of the list except for the selected element.
For instance, if we take List(1,2,3), we'll compose lists formed by 1 and perm(List(2,3)), 2 and perm(List(1,3)) and 3 and perm(List(1,2)).
Since we are doing arbitrary-sized permutations, we keep track of how long each subpermutation can be. If a subpermutation is size 0, it is important we return a list containing an empty list. Notice that this is not an empty list! If we returned Nil in case 0, there would be no element for sl in the calling perm, and the whole "for" would yield Nil. This way, sl will be assigned Nil, and we'll compose a list el :: Nil, yielding List(el).
I was thinking about the original problem, though, and I'll post my solution here for reference. If you meant not having duplicated elements in the answer as a result of duplicated elements in the input, just add a removeDuplicates as shown below.
def comb[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(i <- (0 to (l.size - n)).toList;
l1 = l.drop(i);
sl <- comb(n-1, l1.tail))
yield l1.head :: sl
}
It's a bit ugly, I know. I have to use toList to convert the range (returned by "to") into a List, so that "for" itself would return a List. I could do away with "l1", but I think this makes more clear what I'm doing. Since there is no filter here, modifying it to remove duplicates is much easier:
def comb[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] = {
def comb1[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(i <- (0 to (l.size - n)).toList;
l1 = l.drop(i);
sl <- comb(n-1, l1.tail))
yield l1.head :: sl
}
comb1(n, l).removeDuplicates
}
Daniel -- I'm not sure what Alex meant by duplicates, it may be that the following provides a more appropriate answer:
def perm[T](n: Int, l: List[T]): List[List[T]] =
n match {
case 0 => List(List())
case _ => for(el <- l.removeDuplicates;
sl <- perm(n-1, l.slice(0, l.findIndexOf {_ == el}) ++ l.slice(1 + l.findIndexOf {_ == el}, l.size)))
yield el :: sl
}
Run as
perm(2, List(1,2,2,2,1))
this gives:
List(List(2, 2), List(2, 1), List(1, 2), List(1, 1))
as opposed to:
List(
List(1, 2), List(1, 2), List(1, 2), List(2, 1),
List(2, 1), List(2, 1), List(2, 1), List(2, 1),
List(2, 1), List(1, 2), List(1, 2), List(1, 2)
)
The nastiness inside the nested perm call is removing a single 'el' from the list, I imagine there's a nicer way to do that but I can't think of one.
This solution was posted on Rosetta Code: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Combinations_with_repetitions#Scala
def comb[A](as: List[A], k: Int): List[List[A]] =
(List.fill(k)(as)).flatten.combinations(k).toList
It is really not clear what you are asking for. It could be one of a few different things. First would be simple combinations of different elements in a list. Scala offers that with the combinations() method from collections. If elements are distinct, the behavior is exactly what you expect from classical definition of "combinations". For n-element combinations of p elements there will be p!/n!(p-n)! combinations in the output.
If there are repeated elements in the list, though, Scala will generate combinations with the item appearing more than once in the combinations. But just the different possible combinations, with the element possibly replicated as many times as they exist in the input. It generates only the set of possible combinations, so repeated elements, but not repeated combinations. I'm not sure if underlying it there is an iterator to an actual Set.
Now what you actually mean if I understand correctly is combinations from a given set of different p elements, where an element can appear repeatedly n times in the combination.
Well, coming back a little, to generate combinations when there are repeated elements in the input, and you wanna see the repeated combinations in the output, the way to go about it is just to generate it by "brute-force" using n nested loops. Notice that there is really nothing brute about it, it is just the natural number of combinations, really, which is O(p^n) for small n, and there is nothing you can do about it. You only should be careful to pick these values properly, like this:
val a = List(1,1,2,3,4)
def comb = for (i <- 0 until a.size - 1; j <- i+1 until a.size) yield (a(i), a(j))
resulting in
scala> comb
res55: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[(Int, Int)] = Vector((1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,3), (2,4), (3,4))
This generates the combinations from these repeated values in a, by first creating the intermediate combinations of 0 until a.size as (i, j)...
Now to create the "combinations with repetitions" you just have to change the indices like this:
val a = List('A','B','C')
def comb = for (i <- 0 until a.size; j <- i until a.size) yield (a(i), a(j))
will produce
List((A,A), (A,B), (A,C), (B,B), (B,C), (C,C))
But I'm not sure what's the best way to generalize this to larger combinations.
Now I close with what I was looking for when I found this post: a function to generate the combinations from an input that contains repeated elements, with intermediary indices generated by combinations(). It is nice that this method produces a list instead of a tuple, so that means we can actually solve the problem using a "map of a map", something I'm not sure anyone else has proposed here, but that is pretty nifty and will make your love for FP and Scala grow a bit more after you see it!
def comb[N](p:Seq[N], n:Int) = (0 until p.size).combinations(n) map { _ map p }
results in
scala> val a = List('A','A','B','C')
scala> comb(a, 2).toList
res60: List[scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int]] = List(Vector(1, 1), Vector(1, 2), Vector(1, 3), Vector(1, 2), Vector(1, 3), Vector(2, 3))
