List comprehensions

List comprehensions

[Jon Harrop]

I didn't know OCaml had list comprehensions built-in:

$ ocaml camlp4oof.cma
        Objective Caml version 3.10.0

        Camlp4 Parsing version 3.10.0

# [x + 2*x + x/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4]];;
- : int list = [3; 7; 10; 14]
#

Cool! :-)

How do you do something like this?

[x + 2*x + y/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4], [y <- [3; 4; 5]];;

That is a list comprehension with more than one variable where all  
variables come from lists.

	Thanks, Joel

Ooh, look:

# let rec sort = function
    | [] -> []
    | x::xs -> sort [y | y <- xs; y<x] @ [x] @ sort [y | y <- xs; y>=x];;
val sort : 'a list -> 'a list = <fun>
# sort [3;1;6;2;7;4;9;8];;
- : int list = [1; 2; 3; 4; 6; 7; 8; 9]

Hmm, maybe we could form some sort of rudimentary lathe...

Since you're fishing, I'm biting -- what bait do you
need to catch a camlp4oof?

Use `;' to separate generators. And you have an extra `['.

[x + 2*x + y/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4]; y <- [3; 4; 5]];;

I guess just 0.3.10.

[n8gray@golux]% locate camlp4oof
/usr/local/godi/bin/camlp4oof
/usr/local/godi/bin/camlp4oof.opt
/usr/local/godi/lib/ocaml/std-lib/camlp4/camlp4oof.cma

[n8gray@golux]% rlwrap ocaml camlp4oof.cma
        Objective Caml version 3.10.0

        Camlp4 Parsing version 3.10.0

# [x + 2*x + x/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4]];;
- : int list = [3; 7; 10; 14]
# [x + 2*x + x/2 - y | x,y <- [1,2; 2,3; 3,4; 4,5]];;
- : int list = [1; 4; 6; 9]

I just tried this to avoid a big block of ugly code but it doesn't work with
3.09:

# [x + 2*x + x/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4]];;
Characters 15-16:
  [x + 2*x + x/2 | x <- [1; 2; 3; 4]];;
                       ^
Syntax error


So it's a very recent addition, no surprise you didn't know had this. ;)
