Transformations

fun.map(fun, gen, param, state)

iterator:map(fun)

Parameters

fun ((function(...) -> ...)) – a function to apply

Returns

a new iterator

Return a new iterator by applying the fun to each element of gen, param, state iterator. The mapping is performed on the fly and no values are buffered.

Examples:

> each(print, map(function(x) return 2 * x end, range(4)))
2
4
6
8

fun = function(...) return 'map', ... end
> each(print, map(fun, range(4)))
map 1
map 2
map 3
map 4

fun.enumerate(gen, param, state)

iterator:enumerate()

Returns

a new iterator

Return a new iterator by enumerating all elements of the gen, param, state iterator starting from 1. The mapping is performed on the fly and no values are buffered.

Examples:

> each(print, enumerate({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}))
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e

> each(print, enumerate(zip({"one", "two", "three", "four", "five"},
    {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"})))
1 one a
2 two b
3 three c
4 four d
5 five e

fun.intersperse(x, gen, param, state)

iterator:intersperse(x)

Returns

a new iterator

Return a new iterator where the x value is interspersed between the elements of the source iterator. The x value can also be added as a last element of returning iterator if the source iterator contains the odd number of elements.

Examples:

> each(print, intersperse("x", {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}))
a
x
b
x
c
x
d
x
e
x
