Implementation of and functions for the Stream data type
Streams are infinite lists. Most operations on streams are completely analogous to the definitions for [].
Beware: If you use any function from the Eq or Ord class to compare two equal streams, these functions will diverge.
The <:> operator is a left strict infix version of the Stream.Cons constructor.
In this module, it will always be used when the head part of a Stream result is computed with some function passed as argument.
This way, the strictness of the passed function is indirectly taken in account.
For example, in the result of
zipWith (,) stream1 stream2
the data of stream1 and stream2 are not evaluated, because the tuple constructor doesn't do it.
Hence
let us = repeat undefined in length • take 10 • zipWith (,) us $ us
will be 10. Whereas
let us = repeat undefined in length • take 10 • zipWith (+) us $ us
will be undefined.
The inits function takes a stream xs and returns all the finite prefixes of xs.
Note that this inits is lazier then inits:
inits _|_ = [] ::: _|_
while for inits:
inits _|_ = _|_
The tails function takes a stream xs and returns all the suffixes of xs.
Apply a function uniformly over all elements of a sequence.
intersperse y xs creates an alternating stream of elements from xs and y
Interleave two Streams xs and ys, alternating elements from each list.
scan yields a stream of successive reduced values from:
scan f z [x1, x2, ...] == [z, z `f` x1, (z `f` x1) `f` x2, ...]
scan' is a strict scan.
scan1 is a variant of scan that has no starting value argument:
scan1 f [x1, x2, ...] == [x1, x1 `f` x2, ...]
scan1' is a strict scan that has no starting value.
transpose computes the transposition of a stream of streams.
iterate f x function produces the infinite sequence of repeated applications of f to x.
iterate f x = [x, f x, f (f x), ..]
repeat x returns a constant stream, where all elements are equal to x.
cycle xs returns the infinite repetition of xs:
cycle [1,2,3] = Cons 1 (Cons 2 (Cons 3 (Cons 1 (Cons 2 ...
The unfold function is similar to the unfold for lists. Note there is no base case: all streams must be infinite.
The splitAt function takes an integer n and a stream xs and returns a pair consisting of the prefix of xs of length n and the remaining stream immediately following this prefix.
Beware: passing a negative integer as the first argument will cause an error.
takeWhile p xs returns the longest prefix of the stream xs for which the predicate p holds.
dropWhile p xs returns the suffix remaining after takeWhile p xs.
Beware: this function may diverge if every element of xs satisfies p, e.g. dropWhile even (repeat 0) will loop.
span p xs returns the longest prefix of xs that satisfies p, together with the remainder of the stream.
The break p function is equivalent to span (not <~ p).
filter p xs removes any elements from xs that do not satisfy p.
Beware: this function may diverge if there is no element of xs that satisfies p, e.g. filter odd (repeat 0) will loop.
The partition function takes a predicate p and a stream xs, and returns a pair of streams. The first stream corresponds to the elements of xs@ for which p holds; the second stream corresponds to the elements of xs for which p does not hold.
Beware: One of the elements of the tuple may be undefined. For example, fst (partition even (repeat 0)) == repeat 0; on the other hand snd (partition even (repeat 0)) is undefined.
The group function takes a stream and returns a stream of lists such that flattening the resulting stream is equal to the argument. Moreover, each sublist in the resulting stream contains only equal elements. For example,
group $ cycle "Mississippi" = "M" ::: "i" ::: "ss" ::: "i" ::: "ss" ::: "i" ::: "pp" ::: "i" ::: "M" ::: "i" ::: ...
The isPrefix function returns true if the first argument is a prefix of the second.
xs !! n returns the element of the stream xs at index n. Note that the head of the stream has index 0.
Beware: passing a negative integer as the first argument will cause an error.
The elemIndex function returns the index of the first element in the given stream which is equal (by Eq.==) to the query element,
Beware: elemIndex x xs will diverge if none of the elements of xs equal x.
The elemIndices function extends elemIndex, by returning the indices of all elements equal to the query element, in ascending order.
Beware: elemIndices x xs will diverge if any suffix of xs does not contain x.
The findIndex function takes a predicate and a stream and returns the index of the first element in the stream that satisfies the predicate,
Beware: findIndex p xs will diverge if none of the elements of xs satisfy p.
The findIndices function extends findIndex, by returning the indices of all elements satisfying the predicate, in ascending order.
Beware: findIndices p xs will diverge if all the elements of any suffix of xs fails to satisfy p.
The zip function takes two streams and returns a list of corresponding pairs.
The zipWith function generalizes zip. Rather than tupling the functions, the elements are combined using the function passed as the first argument to zipWith.
The unzip function is the inverse of the zip function.
The words function breaks a stream of characters into a stream of words, which were delimited by white space.
Beware: if the stream of characters xs does not contain white space, accessing the tail of words xs will loop.
The unwords function is an inverse operation to words. It joins words with separating spaces.
The lines function breaks a stream of characters into a list of strings at newline characters. The resulting strings do not contain newlines.
Beware: if the stream of characters xs does not contain newline characters, accessing the tail of lines xs will loop.
The unlines function is an inverse operation to lines. It joins lines, after appending a terminating newline to each.
The fromList converts an infinite list to a stream.
Beware: Passing a finite list, will cause an error.
