Haskell IO - read from standard input directly to list

Tag: haskell

Haskell IO system is super hard to understand for me so i have question : How to read from standard input to list ? I know that there is function getLine :: IO String and interact. But i do not know how to convert the input to list so I can use it in this three functions :

powerset []     = [[]]
powerset (x:xs) = xss ++ map (x:) xss
                               where xss = powerset xs
main = print $ powerset([1,2])

import Control.Monad(filterM)
p = filterM(const[True,False])
main = p[1,2]

main = subsequences([1,2])

I want to be able to write 1 2 3 and pass this values to the function. Can you tell/show how to do it ?

Extra question

Haskell is full of magic so i was wondering if it possible to use input directly in the function like this :

main = subsequences(some input magic here)

Best How To :

You may write:

main = readLn >>= print . subsequences

You will need to nail down the type to be read, for example by having a monomorphic subsequences or by annotating readLn. In ghci:

Data.List> (readLn :: IO [Integer]) >>= print . subsequences
[1,2,3]
[[],[1],[2],[1,2],[3],[1,3],[2,3],[1,2,3]]

(I typed in the first and second lines -- both followed by enter -- and the third line was the result.)

Haskell do clause with multiple monad types

haskell,monads

A do block is for a specific type of monad, you can't just change the type in the middle. You can either transform the action or you can nest it inside the do. Most times transformations will be ready for you. You can, for instance have a nested do that...

Haskell powerset function - How to avoid Couldn't match expected type `IO t0' with actual type `[[Integer]]'

haskell

Why doesn't `iterate` from the Prelude tie the knot?

haskell,tying-the-knot

Tying the not like that doesn't appear to increase sharing. Contrast with: cycle xs = let x = xs ++ x in x Tying the knot here has the effect of creating a circular linked list in memory. x is its own tail. There's a real gain. Your suggested implementation...

issues with installing newer cabal version for haskell vim now

ubuntu,haskell,vim,ubuntu-14.04,cabal

In a comment you said it was /home/me/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/.cabal/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sb‌in:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games This means that your shell (assumed to be bash) will look in the following directories /home/me/google-cloud-sdk/bin /.cabal/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sb‌in /usr/bin /sbin /bin /usr/games /usr/local/games when looking for executable.

attoparsec: succeeding on part of the input instead of failing

haskell,attoparsec

Depending on if consuming the whole input should be the property of parseNoteDocument or just the tests, I'd extend one or the other with endOfInput or atEnd. I'd suggest to define a proper Parser for your documents, like parseNoteDocument' :: Text -> Parsec NoteDocument parseNoteDocument' = many parseLine and then...

How to convert a Rational into a “pretty” String?

haskell,formatting,rational

Here's one that I wrote a few weeks ago.

Haskell: `==' is not a (visible) method of class

It isn't clear what you are trying to achieve. Here are some thoughts: When you declare an instance of a class like instance (Eq a) => PartOrd a, you are expected to provide implementations for the functions in PartOrd a (ie partcmp, not == and \=). The compiler is telling...

Combining Event and an attribute in threepenny-gui

haskell,threepenny-gui

This is intentional: The UI.checkedChange event only triggers when the user clicks the checkbox, but not when it is set programmatically. The intention is that the bBool behavior represents the canonical state of the checkbox and the UI.checkedChange event represents request from the user to change it, which may or...

Decremented value called in the recursion in Haskell

string,function,haskell,recursion,parameters

Yes, once you call again f with a new value of n, it has no way to reference the old value of n unless you pass it explicitly. One way to do it is to have an internal recursive function with its width parameter, as you have, but that can...

How does Frege generalize number literals?

haskell,frege

Simple decimal literals without type indicator (i.e. one of the letters lndf) do not automatically have type Int in Frege. They will get assigned the type you probably wanted, and the literal will get adapted accordingly. This is why they are called DWIM (do what I mean) literals. This is...

Best practice for handling data types from 3rd party libraries in Haskell?

I am not ready to give a nice list of best practises, but for starters if you want to keep stuff sanely organized, use explicit exports instead of just exporting everything, e.g: module Parser ( parseConfig ) where ... Explicit exports also allow you to reexport your imports, e.g. module...

Keep track of loop without a counter

haskell

Why is f <$> g <$> x equivalent to (f . g) <$> x although <$> is not right-associative?

haskell,syntax,infix-notation,applicative,infix-operator

Why is f <$> g <$> x equivalent to (f . g) <$> x ...well, this isn't so much a functor-thing as a Haskell-thing. The reason it works is that functions are functors. Both <$> operators work in different functors! f <$> g is in fact the same as...

Why is lazy evaluation in Haskell “not being lazy”?

How can I express the type of 'takeWhile for vectors'?

haskell,types,binding,dependent-type

The type you suggest can not be implemented, i.e. it is not inhabited: takeWhileVector :: (a -> Bool) -> Vector a n -> Vector a m Remember that the caller chooses the type variables a,n,m. This means that the caller can use your function as e.g. takeWhileVector :: (a ->...

First three items of a list in Haskell

Well, foo (x:y:z:xs) plus a “too short clause” certainly wouldn't be a bad solution. Another would be foo xs = case splitAt 3 xs of ([x,y,z],xs') -> calc x y z : foo (y:z:xs') _ -> [] Or, perhaps nicest, import Data.List (tails) foo xs = [ calc x y...

Haskell make recipe fails for Paradox theorem prover using GHC

Haskell: When declaring a class, how can I use a type variable that is not immediately in the constructors?

Implementing map on a tree using fold

Try to write your last line as def map(tree:Tree[Int])(f:Int=>Int) : Tree[Int] = fold(tree , EmptyTree:Tree[Int])((l,x,r) => Node(f(x),l,r)) Scala's type inference is very limited compared to haskell, in this case it tries to infere type of fold from it's arguments left to right, and incorectly decides that result type of fold...

apply a transformation with function inline

The read lambda applies to the first argument and the first argument to the function given to foldl is the accumulator. Those two arguments are the opposite for foldr. So, expanded, it looks like this: foldl (\acc element -> (read acc :: Int) + element) 0 ["10", "20", "30"] Since...
