Is there a List comprehensions macro?

[jopython]

Is there a macro or library for list comprehensions in newlisp?



Something like this small one liner (eg in python) can come real handy.

Code Select Expand


>>> a = range(10)
>>> b = range(11,20)
>>> [[x, y] for x in b for y in a]


Which gives

Code Select Expand


[[11, 0], [11, 1], [11, 2], [11, 3], ......

Not sure, I don't think it does. Of course you can easily say:

Code Select Expand

(dolist (x b) (dolist (y a) (push (list x y) results -1)))

but presumably this isn't a list comprehension, just a nested list iteration. Although I glanced through the Wikipedia entry and the Rosetta code examples, I didn't get the concept... Do you have any examples that couldn't be simply written as list iteration?

To me, it is a 'for' loop inside a 'for' loop if you come from C-like languages and then mutate the crap of those arrays. Besides multilevel 'for' loops make my head ache :(

Here are some comparisons between Python and NewLisp  that I made a long time ago:

;; List Comprehensions in PYTHON

;;>>> vec = [2, 4, 6]
;;>>> [3*x for x in vec]
;;[6, 12, 18]

(set 'vec '(2 4 6))
(println (map (lambda (x) (* x 3)) vec))
;-> (6 12 18)

;;>>> vec = [2, 4, 6]
;;>>> [[x, x**2] for x in vec]
;;[[2, 4], [4, 16], [6, 36]]

(println (map (lambda (x) (list x (pow x))) vec))
;-> ((2 4) (4 16) (6 36))

;;>>> freshfruit = ['  banana', '  loganberry ', 'passion fruit  ']

;;['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']

(set 'freshfruit '("  banana" "  loganberry " "passion fruit  "))
(println (map trim freshfruit))
;-> ("banana" "loganberry" "passion fruit")
