Remove an element from a list by index
Given the list
[Apple, Banana, Carrot], remove the first element to produce the list [Banana, Carrot]
erlang
Result = tl(List),
[_|Result] = List,
N = 1, {Left, Right} = lists:split(N - 1, List), Result = Left ++ tl(Right),
Result = drop(1, List),
clojure
(let [fruit ["Apple" "Banana" "Carrot"]
index 0]
(concat
(take index fruit)
(drop (+ index 1) fruit)))
index 0]
(concat
(take index fruit)
(drop (+ index 1) fruit)))
groovy
// to produce a new list
newlist = list.tail() // for 'Apple' at start
newlist = list - 'Apple' // for 'Apple' anywhere
newlist = list.tail() // for 'Apple' at start
newlist = list - 'Apple' // for 'Apple' anywhere
// mutate original list
list.remove(0)
list.remove(0)
Remove the last element of a list
erlang
Result = init(List),
Result = take(length(List) - 1, List),
Result = lists:reverse(tl(lists:reverse(List))),
clojure
(pop ["Apple" "Banana" "Carrot"])
groovy
list = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Carrot']
// to produce a new list
newlist = list[0,1]
// to modify original list
list.remove(2)
// to produce a new list
newlist = list[0,1]
// to modify original list
list.remove(2)
Rotate a list
Given a list
["apple", "orange", "grapes", "bananas"], rotate it by removing the first item and placing it on the end to yield ["orange", "grapes", "bananas", "apple"]
erlang
N = 1, {Left, Right} = lists:split(N, List), Result = Right ++ Left,
N = 1, Result = rotate(N, List),
clojure
(let [fruit ["apple" "orange" "grapes" "bananas"]]
(concat (rest fruit) [(first fruit)])
(concat (rest fruit) [(first fruit)])
groovy
first = items.head()
items = items.tail() + first
items = items.tail() + first
items = items[1..-1] + items[0]
items = items + items.remove(0)
