Taking or removing element from the tail end of a list
Main defintions #
rdrop n: dropn : ℕelements from the tailrtake n: taken : ℕelements from the taildrop_while p: remove all the elements that satisfy a decidablep : α → Propfrom the tail of a list until hitting the first non-satisfying elementtake_while p: take all the elements that satisfy a decidablep : α → Propfrom the tail of a list until hitting the first non-satisfying element
Implementation detail #
The two predicate-based methods operate by performing the regular "from-left" operation on
list.reverse, followed by another list.reverse, so they are not the most performant.
The other two rely on list.length l so they still traverse the list twice. One could construct
another function that takes a L : ℕ and use L - n. Under a proof condition that
L = l.length, the function would do the right thing.
Drop elements from the tail end of a list that satisfy p : α → Prop.
Implemented naively via list.reverse
Equations
- list.rdrop_while p l = (list.drop_while p l.reverse).reverse
