This legacy module provides access to the list-specialised operations of Data.List. This module may go away again in future GHC versions and is provided as transitional tool to access some of the list-specialised operations that had to be generalised due to the implementation of the Foldable/Traversable-in-Prelude Proposal (FTP).
If the operations needed are available in GHC.List, it's recommended to avoid importing this module and use GHC.List instead for now.

Return all the elements of a list except the last one. The list must be non-empty.

is a variant of scanr
that has no starting value argument.
mapAccumL :: (acc -> x -> (acc, y)) -> acc -> [x] -> (acc, [y]) Source
The mapAccumL
function behaves like a combination of map
and foldl
; it applies a function to each element of a list, passing an accumulating parameter from left to right, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new list.

unfoldr :: (b -> Maybe (a, b)) -> b -> [a] Source
The unfoldr
function is a `dual' to foldr
: while foldr
reduces a list to a summary value, unfoldr
builds a list from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns Nothing
if it is done producing the list or returns Just
(a,b)
, in which case, a
is a prepended to the list and b
is used as the next element in a recursive call. For example,
iterate f == unfoldr (\x -> Just (x, f x))
In some cases, unfoldr
can undo a foldr
operation:
unfoldr f' (foldr f z xs) == xs
if the following holds:
f' (f x y) = Just (x,y) f' z = Nothing
A simple use of unfoldr:
unfoldr (\b -> if b == 0 then Nothing else Just (b, b-1)) 10 [10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]

dropWhile :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] Source
dropWhile
p xs
returns the suffix remaining after takeWhile
p xs
:
dropWhile (< 3) [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3] == [3,4,5,1,2,3] dropWhile (< 9) [1,2,3] == [] dropWhile (< 0) [1,2,3] == [1,2,3]
dropWhileEnd :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] Source
The dropWhileEnd
function drops the largest suffix of a list in which the given predicate holds for all elements. For example:
dropWhileEnd isSpace "foo\n" == "foo" dropWhileEnd isSpace "foo bar" == "foo bar" dropWhileEnd isSpace ("foo\n" ++ undefined) == "foo" ++ undefined
Since: 4.5.0.0
span :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source

span
p xs
is equivalent to (takeWhile p xs, dropWhile p xs)
break :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source
break
, applied to a predicate p
and a list xs
, returns a tuple where first element is longest prefix (possibly empty) of xs
of elements that do not satisfy p
and second element is the remainder of the list:
break (> 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == ([1,2,3],[4,1,2,3,4]) break (< 9) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3]) break (> 9) [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[])
break
p

It is a special case of groupBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

inits "abc" == ["","a","ab","abc"]
Note that inits
has the following strictness property: inits (xs ++ _|_) = inits xs ++ _|_
In particular, inits _|_ = [] : _|_
The tails

, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.
(\\) :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a] infix 5 Source

function is list difference (non-associative). In the result of xs
\\
ys
, the first occurrence of each element of ys
in turn (if any) has been removed from xs
. Thus
(xs ++ ys) \\ xs == ys.
It is a special case of deleteFirstsBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.
union :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a] Source
The union
function returns the list union of the two lists. For example,
"dog" `union` "cow" == "dogcw"
Duplicates, and elements of the first list, are removed from the the second list, but if the first list contains duplicates, so will the result. It is a special case of unionBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.
intersect :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a] Source
The intersect
function takes the list intersection of two lists. For example,
[1,2,3,4] `intersect` [2,4,6,8] == [2,4]
If the first list contains duplicates, so will the result.
[1,2,2,3,4] `intersect` [6,4,4,2] == [2,2,4]
It is a special case of intersectBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test. If the element is found in both the first and the second list, the element from the first list will be used.
sort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] Source
The sort
function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of sortBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.
Elements are arranged from from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input.
sortOn :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> [a] Source
Sort a list by comparing the results of a key function applied to each element. sortOn f
is equivalent to sortBy (comparing f)
, but has the performance advantage of only evaluating f
once for each element in the input list. This is called the decorate-sort-undecorate paradigm, or Schwartzian transform.
Elements are arranged from from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input.
Since: 4.8.0.0
insert :: Ord a => a -> [a] -> [a] Source
The insert
function takes an element and a list and inserts the element into the list at the first position where it is less than or equal to the next element. In particular, if the list is sorted before the call, the result will also be sorted. It is a special case of insertBy
, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.

maximumBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> a Source
The maximumBy
function takes a comparison function and a list and returns the greatest element of the list by the comparison function. The list must be finite and non-empty.
minimumBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> a Source
The minimumBy
function takes a comparison function and a list and returns the least element of the list by the comparison function. The list must be finite and non-empty.
generic
" operationsThe prefix `generic
' indicates an overloaded function that is a generalized version of a Prelude function.
genericLength :: Num i => [a] -> i Source
The genericLength
function is an overloaded version of length
. In particular, instead of returning an Int
, it returns any type which is an instance of Num
. It is, however, less efficient than length
.
genericTake :: Integral i => i -> [a] -> [a] Source
The genericTake
function is an overloaded version of take
, which accepts any Integral
value as the number of elements to take.
genericDrop :: Integral i => i -> [a] -> [a] Source
The genericDrop
function is an overloaded version of drop
, which accepts any Integral
value as the number of elements to drop.
genericSplitAt :: Integral i => i -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source
The genericSplitAt
function is an overloaded version of splitAt
, which accepts any Integral
value as the position at which to split.
genericIndex :: Integral i => [a] -> i -> a Source
The genericIndex
function is an overloaded version of !!
, which accepts any Integral
value as the index.
genericReplicate :: Integral i => i -> a -> [a] Source
The genericReplicate
function is an overloaded version of replicate
, which accepts any Integral
value as the number of repetitions to make.
