NAME¶
Array::fold - Fold an array.
SYNOPSIS¶
b fold( b(a, b) f, [a] xs, b acc )
ARGUMENTS¶
f The function to use
xs The array
acc The initial value for folding.
DESCRIPTION¶
Applies a function across an array. For example, given a function
sum
which adds two integers:
-
-
total = fold(sum,[1,2,3,4,5],0);
putStrLn(String(total));
This prints the sum of the values in the array
[1,2,3,4,5]
The following example uses
fold to calculate the final direction.
-
-
data Direction = North | East | South | West;
data Turn = Left | Right;
Direction doTurn(Turn turn, Direction current) {
case turn of {
Left -> case current of {
North -> new = West;
| West -> new = South;
| South -> new = East;
| East -> new = North;
}
| Right -> case current of {
North -> new = East;
| West -> new = North;
| South -> new = West;
| East -> new = South;
}
}
return new;
}
Void main() {
turns = [Left,Left,Left,Right,Right,Left,Right,Left,Left];
original = West;
final = fold(doTurn,turns,original);
// final = North
}
