Simple functions working with list

Implement following functions:

• Create a function that computes length of a list.

length' :: [a] -> Int

*Main> length' "ABCD"
4

length' :: [a] -> Int
length' []  = 0
length' (_:xs) = 1 + length' xs

• Create a function that sums the list of integers.

sumIt :: [Int] -> Int

*Main> sumIt [1,2,3]
6

sumIt :: [Int] -> Int
sumIt []  = 0
sumIt (x:xs) = x + sumIt xs

• Create a function that returns the first element in the list.

getHead :: [a] -> a

*Main> getHead [1,2,3]
1

getHead :: [a] -> a
getHead (x:_) = x

• Create a function that returns the last element in the list.

getLast :: [a] -> a

*Main> getLast [1,2,3]
3

getLast :: [a] -> a
getLast [x] = x
getLast (x:xs) = getLast xs

getLast' :: [a] -> a
getLast' (x:xs) | length xs == 0 = x
                | otherwise = getLast' xs

• Create a function that checks if an element is a member of the list.

isElement :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool

*Main> isElement 2 [1,2,3]
True

isElement :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
isElement _ [] = False
isElement a (x:xs) | a == x = True 
                   | otherwise = isElement a xs

• Create a function that returns the list without the last element.

getInit :: [a] -> [a]

*Main> getInit [1,2,3]
[1,2]

getInit :: [a] -> [a]
getInit [_] = []
getInit (x:xs) = x : getInit xs

• Create a function that merge two lists into one list.

combine :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]

[1,2,3,4,5]

combine :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]

• Create a function that finds the maximum in the list of integers.

max' :: [Int] -> Int

*Main> max' [3,1,7,5]

max' :: [Int] -> Int
max' [x] = x
max' (x:y:z) | x > y = max' (x:z)
             | otherwise = max' (y:z)

max'' (y:ys) = tmp y ys where
   tmp a [] = a
   tmp a (x:xs) | x > a = tmp x xs 
                |otherwise = tmp a xs

        tmp (x:xs) ys = tmp xs (x:ys)

Advanced functions working with lists

• Create a function that find the smallest element in the list. Consider input restrictions.

minimum' :: [a] -> a -- Is this right?

*Main> minimum' [1,3,4,0]
0

minimum' :: Ord a => [a] -> a 
minimum' [x] = x

[1,2,4,8,16,32]

divisors :: Int -> [Int]
divisors n = tmp n where
  tmp 0 = []
  tmp x | n `mod` x == 0 = x: tmp (x-1)

Functions working with lists and tuples

Implement following functions:

• Create a function that merge two lists into one list of tuples.
