Given the list
[Apple, Banana, Carrot] produce "Apple, Banana, Carrot"
erlang

Join the elements of a list, in correct english
Create a function join that takes a List and produces a string containing an english language concatenation of the list. It should work with the following examples:
join(
join(
join(
join(
join(
[Apple, Banana, Carrot]) = "Apple, Banana, and Carrot"
join(
[One, Two]) = "One and Two"
join(
[Lonely]) = "Lonely"
join(
[]) = ""

Produce the combinations from two lists
Given two lists, produce the list of tuples formed by taking the combinations from the individual lists. E.g. given the letters
["a", "b", "c"] and the numbers [4, 5], produce the list: [["a", 4], ["b", 4], ["c", 4], ["a", 5], ["b", 5], ["c", 5]]

lists:foldl(fun (Number, Acc) -> Acc ++ lists:map(fun (Letter) -> {Letter, Number} end, Letters) end, [], Numbers),
Combinations = lists:keysort(2, sofs:to_external(sofs:product(sofs:set(Letters), sofs:set(Numbers))))
[[A, B] || A <- ["a", "b", "c"], B <- [4, 5]].

Fetch an element of a list by index
Given the list
[One, Two, Three, Four, Five], fetch the third element ('Three')
erlang

{Left, _} = lists:split(3, List), Result = lists:last(Left),

Find the common items in two lists
Given two lists, find the common items. E.g. given beans =
['broad', 'mung', 'black', 'red', 'white'] and colors = ['black', 'red', 'blue', 'green'], what are the bean varieties that are also color names?
erlang
Beans = sets:from_list([broad, mung, black, red, white]), Colors = sets:from_list([black, red, blue, green]),
Common = sets:to_list(sets:intersection(Beans, Colors)),
Common = sets:to_list(sets:intersection(Beans, Colors)),
cpp
array<String^>^ inbeans = {"broad", "mung", "black", "red", "white"};
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ beans = makeSET<String^>(gcnew Generic::List<String^>((Generic::IEnumerable<String^>^) inbeans));
array<String^>^ incolors = {"black", "red", "blue", "green"};
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ colors = makeSET<String^>(gcnew Generic::List<String^>((Generic::IEnumerable<String^>^) incolors));
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ result = intersectSET<String^>(beans, colors);
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ beans = makeSET<String^>(gcnew Generic::List<String^>((Generic::IEnumerable<String^>^) inbeans));
array<String^>^ incolors = {"black", "red", "blue", "green"};
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ colors = makeSET<String^>(gcnew Generic::List<String^>((Generic::IEnumerable<String^>^) incolors));
Generic::ICollection<String^>^ result = intersectSET<String^>(beans, colors);
Display the unique items in a list
Display the unique items in a list, e.g. given ages =
[18, 16, 17, 18, 16, 19, 14, 17, 19, 18], display the unique elements, i.e. with duplicates removed.
erlang
Ages = sets:to_list(sets:from_list([18, 16, 17, 18, 16, 19, 14, 17, 19, 18])), io:format("~w~n", [Ages]).

input.sort();
unique_copy(input.begin(), input.end(), ostream_iterator<int>(cout, "\n"));
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),
cpp
fruit->RemoveAt(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))),
cpp
fruit->RemoveAt(fruit->Count - 1);
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),
cpp
fruit->Add(fruit[0]); fruit->RemoveAt(0);
rotate(fruit.begin(), fruit.begin()+1, fruit.end());
Gather together corresponding elements from multiple lists
Given several lists, gather together the first element from every list, the second element from every list, and so on for all corresponding index values in the lists. E.g. for these three lists, first =
['Bruce', 'Tommy Lee', 'Bruce'], last = ['Willis', 'Jones', 'Lee'], years = [1955, 1946, 1940] the result should produce 3 actors. The middle actor should be Tommy Lee Jones.
erlang
First = ['Bruce', 'Tommy Lee', 'Bruce'], Last = ['Willis', 'Jones', 'Lee'], Years = [1955, 1946, 1940],
Result = lists:zip3(First, Last, Years),
Result = lists:zip3(First, Last, Years),
cpp
array<String^>^ first = {"Bruce", "Tommy Lee", "Bruce"}; array<String^>^ last = {"Willis", "Jones", "Lee"}; array<String^>^ years = {"1955", "1946", "1940"};
array<String^>^ result = zip<String^>(",", first, last, years);
array<String^>^ result = zip<String^>(",", first, last, years);
list<string> first = { "Bruce", "Tommy Lee", "Bruce" };
list<string> last = {"Willis", "Jones", "Lee"};
list<int> years = {1955, 1946, 1940};
list<tuple<string,string,int> > actors;
for (firstIt = first.begin(), lastIt = last.begin(), yearIt = years.begin();
firstIt != first.end() && lastIt != last.end() && yearIt != years.end();
++firstIt, ++lastIt, ++yearIt)
actors.push_back(make_tuple(*firstIt, *lastIt, *yearIt));
list<string> last = {"Willis", "Jones", "Lee"};
list<int> years = {1955, 1946, 1940};
list<tuple<string,string,int> > actors;
for (firstIt = first.begin(), lastIt = last.begin(), yearIt = years.begin();
firstIt != first.end() && lastIt != last.end() && yearIt != years.end();
++firstIt, ++lastIt, ++yearIt)
actors.push_back(make_tuple(*firstIt, *lastIt, *yearIt));
List Combinations
Given two source lists (or sets), generate a list (or set) of all the pairs derived by combining elements from the individual lists (sets). E.g. given suites =
['H', 'D', 'C', 'S'] and faces = ['2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'J', 'Q', 'K', 'A'], generate the deck of 52 cards, confirm the deck size and check it contains an expected card, say 'Ace of Hearts'.
