I'm solving a practice problem in Haskell where I'm trying to count the palindrome numbers between 2 given integers. Single-digit numbers are palindromes. I've tried solving it with a helper function but I can't make it take the smaller number from the main function. Any help would be appreciated!
So far I typed this:
main :: IO()
main = do
print $ countPalindromes 5 13 == 5 -- 6 7 8 9 11
print $ countPalindromes 13 5 == 5 -- 6 7 8 9 11
rev :: Int -> Int
rev n = helper n 0
where
helper :: Int -> Int -> Int
helper 0 result = result
helper n result = helper (div n 10) (result * 10 + mod n 10)
isPalindrome :: Int -> Bool
isPalindrome x = rev x == x
countPalindromes :: Int -> Int -> Int
countPalindromes a b
| a > b = helper b a 0
| otherwise = helper a b 0
where
helper :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Int
helper a b count
| a <= b && isPalindrome (a - 1) = count + 1
| otherwise = helper (a - 1) b count
That's not your problem. The problem is that helper a b count only returns count + 1 if a is a palindrome, without ever checking if a + 1, a + 2, etc, are palindromes as well. When the first number is a palindrome, it returns 0 + 1 == 1 and done. (Your definition of helper is also counting the wrong way; it's decrementing a instead of incrementing as you need to do if you ever want a <= b to be false.)
helper needs to recurse whether or not a is a palindrome; the only difference is in the value of its third argument.
helper a b count | a > b = count -- base
| isPalindrome a = helper (a + 1) b (count + 1)
| otherwise = helper (a + 1) b count
Note that b never changes; it doesn't need to be an argument to helper. Instead, you can make a recursive call to countPalindromes to ensure a < b:
countPalindromes :: Int -> Int -> Int
countPalindromes a b
| a > b = countPalindromes b a
| otherwise = helper a 0
where
helper :: Int -> Int -> Int
helper a count
| a > b = count -- base case
| isPalindrom a = helper (a + 1) (count + 1)
| otherwise = helper (a + 1) count
Tail recursion also isn't terribly important in Haskell. You can write helper more naturally
helper a | a > b = 0
| isPalindrome a = 1 + helper (a + 1)
| otherwise = helper (a + 1)
Note, too, that the only difference between isPalindrome returning True or False is whether you add 1 or 0 to the recursive return value. You can capture that with fromEnum:
helper a | a > b = 0
| otherwise = (fromEnum (isPalindrome a)) + helper (a + 1)
As an exercise, note that you don't need explicit recursion at all. You can use filter to get the values in range that are palindromes, then simply count the number of values in the resulting list.

I want to create a function as mentioned in the title. The specific is that it adds the digits in reversed order, you can see that in the test cases: 12 -> 1; 852369 -> 628; 1714 -> 11; 12345 -> 42; 891 -> 9; 448575 -> 784; 4214 -> 14
The main idea is that when the number is bigger than 99 it enters the helper function which has i - indicator if the the digit is on an even position, and res which stores the result. Helper begins to cycle n as it checks whether or not the current digit is on even position and adds it to the result.
So far I've tried the following code:
everyOther :: Int -> Int
everyOther n
| n < 10 = error "n must be bigger than 10 or equal"
| n < 100 = div n 10
| otherwise = helper n 0 0
where
helper :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Int
helper n i res
| n < 100 = res
| i == 1 = helper (div n 10) (i - 1) (res + (mod n 10)*10)
| otherwise = helper (div n 10) i res
Any help would be appreciated!
You can obtain the one but last digit of x with mod (div x 10) 10. You can use this with an accumulator that accumulates the value by each time multiplying with 10, so:
everyOther :: Int -> Int
everyOther = go 0
where go a v
| v < 10 = a
| otherwise = go (10*a + mod (div v 10) 10) (div v 100)
If v is thus less than 10, we can return the accumulator, since there is no "other digit" anymore. If that is not the case, we multiply a with 10, and add mod (div v 10) 10 to add the other digit to it, and recurse with the value divided by 100 to move it two places to the right.
We can improve this, as #Daniel Wagner says, by making use of quotRem :: Integral a => a -> a -> (a, a):
everyOther :: Int -> Int
everyOther = go 0
where go a v
| v < 10 = a
| otherwise = let (q, r) = v `quotRem` 100 in go (10*a + r `quot` 10) q
here we thus work with the remainder of a division by 100, and this thus avoids an extra modulo.
I am writing some code to work with arbitrary radix numbers in haskell. They will be stored as lists of integers representing the digits.
I almost managed to get it working, but I have run into the problem of converting a list of tuples [(a_1,b_1),...,(a_n,b_n)] into a single list which is defined as follows:
for all i, L(a_i) = b_i.
if there is no i such that a_i = k, a(k)=0
In other words, this is a list of (position,value) pairs for values in an array. If a position does not have a corresponding value, it should be set to zero.
I have read this (https://wiki.haskell.org/How_to_work_on_lists) but I don't think any of these methods are suitable for this task.
baseN :: Integer -> Integer -> [Integer]
baseN n b = convert_digits (baseN_digits n b)
chunk :: (Integer, Integer) -> [Integer]
chunk (e,m) = m : (take (fromIntegral e) (repeat 0))
-- This is broken because the exponents don't count for each other's zeroes
convert_digits :: [(Integer,Integer)] -> [Integer]
convert_digits ((e,m):rest) = m : (take (fromIntegral (e)) (repeat 0))
convert_digits [] = []
-- Converts n to base b array form, where a tuple represents (exponent,digit).
-- This works, except it ignores digits which are zero. thus, I converted it to return (exponent, digit) pairs.
baseN_digits :: Integer -> Integer -> [(Integer,Integer)]
baseN_digits n b | n <= 0 = [] -- we're done.
| b <= 0 = [] -- garbage input.
| True = (e,m) : (baseN_digits (n-((b^e)*m)) b)
where e = (greedy n b 0) -- Exponent of highest digit
m = (get_coef n b e 1) -- the highest digit
-- Returns the exponent of the highest digit.
greedy :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer -> Integer
greedy n b e | n-(b^e) < 0 = (e-1) -- We have overshot so decrement.
| n-(b^e) == 0 = e -- We nailed it. No need to decrement.
| n-(b^e) > 0 = (greedy n b (e+1)) -- Not there yet.
-- Finds the multiplicity of the highest digit
get_coef :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer -> Integer -> Integer
get_coef n b e m | n - ((b^e)*m) < 0 = (m-1) -- We overshot so decrement.
| n - ((b^e)*m) == 0 = m -- Nailed it, no need to decrement.
| n - ((b^e)*m) > 0 = get_coef n b e (m+1) -- Not there yet.
You can call "baseN_digits n base" and it will give you the corresponding array of tuples which needs to be converted to the correct output
Here's something I threw together.
f = snd . foldr (\(e,n) (i,l') -> ( e , (n : replicate (e-i-1) 0) ++ l')) (-1,[])
f . map (fromIntegral *** fromIntegral) $ baseN_digits 50301020 10 = [5,0,3,0,1,0,2,0]
I think I understood your requirements (?)
EDIT:
Perhaps more naturally,
f xs = foldr (\(e,n) fl' i -> (replicate (i-e) 0) ++ (n : fl' (e-1))) (\i -> replicate (i+1) 0) xs 0
I am trying to write this function in Haskell called scanString, which takes a string and convert it into int if it's composed of only digits and should return 0 otherwise.
For example, scanString "123" = 123 but scanString "12a" = 0.
Here's my implementation so far:
scanChar :: Char -> Int
scanChar c
| 48 <= fromEnum c && fromEnum c <= 57 = (fromEnum c) - fromEnum '0'
| otherwise = 0
scanString :: String -> Int
scanString str = case str of
[] -> 0
x:xs
| 48 <= fromEnum x && fromEnum x <= 57 ->
((scanChar x) * (10 ^ ((length str) -1 ))) + scanString xs
| otherwise -> 0
This code does not do the right thing as scanString "3a" would give 30.
Is there a way (like in Java or Python) where one can simply terminate a function and return a value? Of course, advice on the implementation on this function would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
The main problem here I think is that you let scanChar :: Char -> Int return both a zero for the zero character ('0') as well as for other characters. As a result the scanString has to include extra logic and this makes it only more complex.
So we can clean the scanChar by for instance returning a -1 (or we could let it return a Maybe Int and let it return Nothing, regardless how you exactly specify it, the key is to try to encapsulate the checking logic in one function, such that we no longer have to care about it). So for example:
scanChar :: Char -> Int
scanChar c | '0' <= c && c <= '9' = fromEnum c - fromEnum '0'
| otherwise = -1
So now we can encapsulate all the digit parsing logic in scanChar. Now we still need to implement scanString :: String -> Int. This can be done by writing an extra function that works with an accumulator. For example:
scanString :: String -> Int
scanString = go 0
where go a s = ...
So here go acts as a function to emulate some sort of while loop. The a parameter is the accumulator, a parameter we pass through recursive calls and each time we can update it with more data. Initially we set it to zero.
The go function has basically three cases:
the end of the string is reached, we can return the accumulator;
the first character of the string is not a digit, we return 0; and
the first character of the string is a digit, we multiply the accumulator with 10, add the parsed value, and perform recursion on the tail of the string.
We can thus implement those three cases like:
scanString :: String -> Int
scanString = go 0
where go a [] = a
go a (x:xs) | 0 <= sc && sc <= 9 = go (10*a+sc) xs
| otherwise = 0
where sc = scanChar x
So you're limited by the specification of the problem that the outermost question be of type String -> Int, but that doesn't mean that your helper function scanChar can't return Maybe Int.
So let's look at doing that:
scanChar :: Char -> Maybe Int
scanChar c
| 48 <= fromEnum c && fromEnum c <= 57 = Just $ (fromEnum c) - fromEnum '0'
| otherwise = Nothing
Now, using the approach in the other answer:
scanString :: String -> Int
scanString = go 0
where go a [] = a
go a (x:xs) = case (scanChar x) of
Nothing -> 0
Just d -> go (10*a + d) xs
where sc = scanChar x
Why not
scanString :: String -> Int
scanString x = if all (`elem` "0123456789") x
then read x :: Int
else 0
Note: it will not read negative integers.
Or:
import Data.Char (isDigit)
scanString' :: String -> Int
scanString' x = if all isDigit x
then read x :: Int
else 0
Also a simple solution here using readMaybe.
You can make the following into a function with one parameter that is a string. This function will take only digits out of the string and pack them into another string which is then then converted.
[read [d | d <- "12a", elem d "1234567890"] :: Int] !! 0
Yields 12
I am trying to do a recursive function that should give the sum of all integers between and including its two arguments. For example,
sumFromTo 5 8 is 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 26. If the first argument is greater than the
second, the function should return 0.
This is what I got currently but I am a beginner and I don't think I did it right
sumFromTo :: Int -> Int -> Int
sumFromTo x y
| x == 1 = 1
| y == 1 = 1
| x > 1 && y > 1 = x + y sumFromTo (x - 1)
| otherwise = 0
Any help please?
You can use a list comprehension to do this very simply:
sumFromTo :: Int -> Int -> Int
sumFromTo x y = sum [x..y]
However, I'm not sure what you'd want to do if x == y.
In the code you've given, your recursive definition isn't correct syntax. You've only given sumFromTo one argument, when it needs two, and you appear to have missed a + between the y and the function.
λ> sumFromTo 8 5
0
λ> sumFromTo 5 8
26
λ> sumFromTo 8 8
8
λ>
[a..b] means a list with a step of 1 between a and b, so [1..4] is [1,2,3,4]
Thanks to Phylogenesis, here is a recursive definition:
sumFromTo :: Int -> Int -> Int
sumFromTo x y
| x > y = 0
| x == y = x
| otherwise = x + sumFromTo (x + 1) y
I think you make the problem too complex if you want to implement this with recursion. Basically there are two cases:
one where the lower bound is greater than the upper bound, in which case the sum is zero; and
one where the lower bound is less than or equal to the upper bound.
The first case (1) can be expressed by writing:
sumFromTo x y | x > y = 0
In the second case, the result is the lower bound plus the sum of the lowerbound plus one to the upper bound, so:
| otherwise = x + sumFromTo (x+1) y
and putting these together:
sumFromTo :: (Num a, Ord a) => a -> a -> a
sumFromTo x y | x > y = 0
| otherwise = x + sumFromTo (x+1) y

Your program works, but is not that efficient and personally I find it not that elegant (sorry :S) because you introduce a lot of "noise". As a result it takes a lot of time before output is written.
If I understand the problem statement correctly, each line (except the first), contains two integers, and you need to count the amount of prime numbers between these two numbers (bounds inclusive?)
First of all, you can do this more elegantly by defining a function: cPrime :: Int -> Int -> Int that takes as input the two numbers and returns the amount of prime numbers:
cPrime :: Int -> Int -> Int
cPrime a b = count $ filter isPrime [a .. b]
You can improve performance by improving your prime checking algorithm. First of all, you do not need to check whether 1 is a divisor, since 1 is always a divisor. Furthermore, you can prove mathematically that there is no divisor greater than sqrt(n) (except for n) that divides n; unless there is another divider that is smaller than sqrt(n). So that means that you can simply enumerate all numbers between 2 and sqrt n and from the moment one of these is a divisor, you can stop: you have proven the number is not prime:
isPrime :: Int -> Bool
isPrime 1 = False
isPrime 2 = True
isPrime n = all ((0 /=) . mod n) (2:[3,5..m])
where m = floor $ sqrt $ fromIntegral n
Now I'm not sure what you aim to do with kleinsteVerschilF.
