F#
I have a pretty trivial task but I can't figure out how to make the solution prettier.
The goal is taking a List
and returning results, based on whether they passed a predicate. The results should be grouped. Here's a simplified example:
Predicate: isEven
Inp : [2; 4; 3; 7; 6; 10; 4; 5]
Out: [[^^^^]......[^^^^^^^^]..]
Here's the code I have so far:
let f p ls =
List.foldBack
(fun el (xs, ys) -> if p el then (el::xs, ys) else ([], xs::ys))
ls ([], [])
|> List.Cons // (1)
|> List.filter (not << List.isEmpty) // (2)
let even x = x % 2 = 0
let ret =
[2; 4; 3; 7; 6; 10; 4; 5]
|> f even
// expected [[2; 4]; [6; 10; 4]]
This code does not seem to be readable that much. Also, I don't like lines (1) and (2). Is there any better solution?
