Using scala, how to print string in even and odd indices of a given string? I am aware of the imperative approach using var. I am looking for an approach that uses immutability, avoids side-effects (of course, until need to print result) and concise.
Here is a tail-recursive solution returning even and odd chars (List[Char], List[Char]) in one go
def f(in: String): (List[Char], List[Char]) = {
#tailrec def run(s: String, idx: Int, accEven: List[Char], accOdd: List[Char]): (List[Char], List[Char]) = {
if (idx < 0) (accEven, accOdd)
else if (idx % 2 == 0) run(s, idx - 1, s.charAt(idx) :: accEven, accOdd)
else run(s, idx - 1, accEven, s.charAt(idx) :: accOdd)
}
run(in, in.length - 1, Nil, Nil)
}
which could be printed like so
val (even, odd) = f("abcdefg")
println(even.mkString)
Another way to explore is using zipWithIndex
def printer(evenOdd: Int) {
val str = "1234"
str.zipWithIndex.foreach { i =>
i._2 % 2 match {
case x if x == evenOdd => print(i._1)
case _ =>
}
}
}
In this case you can check the results by using the printer function
scala> printer(1)
24
scala> printer(0)
13
.zipWithIndex takes a List and returns tuples of the elements coupled with their index. Knowing that a String is a list of Char
Looking at str
scala> val str = "1234"
str: String = 1234
str.zipWithIndex
res: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[(Char, Int)] = Vector((1,0), (2,1), (3,2), (4,3))
Lastly, as you only need to print, using foreach instead of map is more ideal as you aren't expecting values to be returned
You can use the sliding function, which is quite simple:
scala> "abcdefgh".sliding(1,2).mkString("")
res16: String = aceg
scala> "abcdefgh".tail.sliding(1,2).mkString("")
res17: String = bdfh
val s = "abcd"
// ac
(0 until s.length by 2).map(i => s(i))
// bd
(1 until s.length by 2).map(i => s(i))
just pure functions with map operator

This question already has an answer here:
Most efficient way to create a Scala Map from a file of strings?
(1 answer)
Closed 4 years ago.
Hi so I'm trying to create a Map[String, String] based on a text file, in the textfile there are arbritrary lines that begin with ";;;" that I ignore with the function and the lines that i dont ignore are the key-> values. they are separated by 2 spaces.
whenever i run my code i get an error saying the expected type Map[String,String] isn't the required type, even though my conversions seem correct.
def createMap(filename: String): Map[String,String] = {
for (line <- Source.fromFile(filename).getLines) {
if (line.nonEmpty && !line.startsWith(";;;")) {
val string: String = line.toString
val splits: Array[String] = string.split(" ")
splits.map(arr => arr(0) -> arr(1)).toMap
}
}
}
I expect it to return a (String -> String) map but instead i get a bunch of errors. how would i fix this?
Since your if statement is not an expression in the for-loop. You should use the if as a filter when yielding your results. To return a result, you must make it a for-comprehension. After the for-comprehension filters the results. You can map this structure to a Map.
import scala.io.Source
def createMap(filename: String): Map[String,String] = {
val keyValuePairs = for (line <- Source.fromFile(filename).getLines; if line.nonEmpty && !line.startsWith(";;;")) yield {
val string = line.toString
val splits: Array[String] = string.split(" ")
splits(0) -> splits(1)
}
keyValuePairs.toMap
}
Okay, so I took a second look. It looks like the file has some corrupt encodings. You can try this as a solution. It worked in my Scala REPL:
import java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction
import scala.io.{Codec, Source}
def createMap(filename: String): Map[String,String] = {
val decoder = Codec.UTF8.decoder.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE)
Source.fromFile(filename)(decoder).getLines()
.filter(line => line.nonEmpty && !line.startsWith(";;;"))
.flatMap(line => {
val arr = line.split("\\s+")
arr match {
case Array(key, value) => Some(key -> value)
case Array(key, values#_*) => Some(key -> values.mkString(" "))
case _ => None
}
}).toMap
}
How can I convert a string in Scala into a corresponding operator?
Given two integers and the string "+" I want the result of adding these two integers.
The last question is very simple:
def applyOperator(x: Int, y: Int, operator: String) = operator match {
case "+" => x + y
case "-" => x - y
...
}
You could try using Twitter's Eval library or reflection, but I wouldn't recommend it given the simpler solution.
For the first question: operators themselves aren't values, so you can't "convert a string into an operator". But you can come close: convert a string into a function which will add (or subtract, etc.) its arguments:
def stringToOperator(operator: String): (Int, Int) => Int = operator match {
case "+" => _ + _
case "-" => _ - _
...
}
You can even generalize it a bit to work not just on integers:
def stringToOperator[A: Numeric](operator: String): (A, A) => A = operator match { ... }
(This also applies to the first answer in the obvious way.)
This one
case class Evaluatee(v1: Int, operator: String, v2: Int)
object Evaluator {
def raw(s: String)(v1: Int, v2: Int) = s match {
case "+" => (v1 + v2)
case "-" => (v1 - v2)
case "*" => (v1 * v2)
case "/" => (v1 / v2)
}
def evaluate(evaluatee: Evaluatee) =
raw(evaluatee.operator)(evaluatee.v1, evaluatee.v2)
}
accomplishes this tests:
test("1+1=2"){
assert(Evaluator.evaluate(Evaluatee(1, "+", 1)) == 2)
}
test("2-1=1"){
assert(Evaluator.evaluate(Evaluatee(2, "-", 1)) == 1)
}
test("1+1=2 raw"){
assert(Evaluator.raw("+")(1,1) == 2)
}
We cannot just do something like 1 "+" 2 because I think the biggest feature of scala to can make an own DSL is the apply method but I can not just calling it with nothing, I'm pretty sure we always need to use () or {} for example List(1) we can't do List 1 but we can List{1}.
But try this maybe could work for you
case class NumOp (num1:Int){
def apply(op:String)(num2:Int):Int = {
op match {
case "+" => num1+num2
case "-" => num1-num2
case _ => 0
}
}
}
object ConvertsNumOp{
implicit def convert(a:Int):NumOp= NumOp(a)
}
import ConvertsNumOp._
scala> 2 ("-") (1)
res0: Int = 1
scala> 4 ("-") (2)
res1: Int = 2
scala> 4 ("+") (2)
res2: Int = 6
scala> 4 ("-") (2) ("+") (1) ("-") (8)
res0: Int = -5
You can do things dynamically so maybe could works.
EDITED:
Here is another version of NumOp maybe cleanest
case class NumOp(num1:Int) {
def apply(op:String):Int => Int = {
op match {
case "+" => num1.+_
case "-" => num1.-_
case _ => throw new NotImplementedError("Operator not implemented")
}
}
}
Using it dynamically
val numList = List(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
val optList = List("+","-");
var retVal = for{ a <- numList; op <- optList }
yield (a)(op)(a)
Is there a Scala library API method (and if not, an idiomatic way) to obtain a list of all the indexes for a substring (target) within a larger string (source)? I have tried to look through the ScalaDoc, but was not able to find anything obvious. There are SO many methods doing so many useful things, I am guessing I am just not submitting the right search terms.
For example, if I have a source string of "name:Yo,name:Jim,name:name,name:bozo" and I use a target string of "name:", I would like to get back a List[Int] of List(0, 8, 17, 27).
Here's my quick hack to resolve the problem:
def indexesOf(source: String, target: String, index: Int = 0, withinOverlaps: Boolean = false): List[Int] = {
def recursive(index: Int, accumulator: List[Int]): List[Int] = {
if (!(index < source.size)) accumulator
else {
val position = source.indexOf(target, index)
if (position == -1) accumulator
else {
recursive(position + (if (withinOverlaps) 1 else target.size), position :: accumulator)
}
}
}
if (target.size <= source.size) {
if (!source.equals(target)) {
recursive(0, Nil).reverse
}
else List(0)
}
else Nil
}
Any guidance you can give me replacing this with a proper standard library entry point would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE 2019/Jun/16:
Further code tightening:
def indexesOf(source: String, target: String, index: Int = 0, withinOverlaps: Boolean = false): List[Int] = {
def recursive(indexTarget: Int = index, accumulator: List[Int] = Nil): List[Int] = {
val position = source.indexOf(target, indexTarget)
if (position == -1)
accumulator
else
recursive(position + (if (withinOverlaps) 1 else target.size), position :: accumulator)
}
recursive().reverse
}
UPDATE 2014/Jul/22:
Inspired by Siddhartha Dutta's answer, I tighted up my code. It now looks like this:
def indexesOf(source: String, target: String, index: Int = 0, withinOverlaps: Boolean = false): List[Int] = {
#tailrec def recursive(indexTarget: Int, accumulator: List[Int]): List[Int] = {
val position = source.indexOf(target, indexTarget)
if (position == -1) accumulator
else
recursive(position + (if (withinOverlaps) 1 else target.size), position :: accumulator)
}
recursive(index, Nil).reverse
}
Additionally, if I have a source string of "aaaaaaaa" and I use a target string of "aa", I would like by default to get back a List[Int] of List(0, 2, 4, 6) which skips a search starting inside of a found substring. The default can be overridden by passing "true" for the withinOverlaps parameter which in the "aaaaaaaa"/"aa" case would return List(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
I am always inclined to reach into the bag of regex tricks with problems like this one. I wouldn't say it is proper, but it's a hell of a lot less code. :)
val r = "\\Qname\\E".r
val ex = "name:Yo,name:Jim,name:name,name:bozo"
val is = r.findAllMatchIn(ex).map(_.start).toList
The quotes \\Q and \\E aren't necessary for this case, but if the string you're looking for has any special characters, then it will be.
A small code to get all the indexes
call the below method as getAllIndexes(source, target)
def getAllIndexes(source: String, target: String, index: Int = 0): List[Int] = {
val targetIndex = source.indexOf(target, index)
if(targetIndex != -1)
List(targetIndex) ++ getAllIndexes(source, target, targetIndex+1)
else
List()
}
All is in the title, and the code is here:
implicit class utils(val chaîne: String) {
def permutations1(): List[String] = {
if (chaîne.length() == 0) List()
else
if (chaîne.length() == 1) List(chaîne)
else {
val retour1=for {i:Int <- 0 to chaîne.length() - 2
chaîne_réduite = chaîne.drop(i)
liste_avec_chaîne_réduite = chaîne_réduite.permutations1()
une_chaîne_réduite_et_permutée <- liste_avec_chaîne_réduite
j <- 0 to une_chaîne_réduite_et_permutée.length()
}
yield new StringBuilder(une_chaîne_réduite_et_permutée).insert(j, chaîne(j)).toString
retour1.toList
}
}
}
Can you explain me why it does not work and eventually correct my code to make it avoid the stack overflow?
Isn't the problem NP-complete? Thus you may only run any code with very limited length of strings.
To make it work on a reasonable string lengths careful optimization is required. For instance, to improve the performance you may try #tailrec optimization.
Representation in the form of String and StringBuilder is very inefficient for the task. Try List of Char for instance.
I found an answer myself:
implicit class utils (val chaîne: String) {
def permutations1 : Seq [String] = {
if (chaîne.size == 1) Seq (chaîne)
else chaîne.flatMap (x => chaîne.filterNot (_ == x).permutations1.map (x + _))
}
}
I tried to use readInt() to read two integers from the same line but that is not how it works.
val x = readInt()
val y = readInt()
With an input of 1 727 I get the following exception at runtime:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1 727"

I got the program to work by using readf but it seems pretty awkward and ugly to me:
val (x,y) = readf2("{0,number} {1,number}")
val a = x.asInstanceOf[Int]
val b = y.asInstanceOf[Int]
println(function(a,b))
Someone suggested that I just use Java's Scanner class, (Scanner.nextInt()) but is there a nice idiomatic way to do it in Scala?
Edit:
My solution following paradigmatic's example:
val Array(a,b) = readLine().split(" ").map(_.toInt)
Followup Question: If there were a mix of types in the String how would you extract it? (Say a word, an int and a percentage as a Double)
If you mean how would you convert val s = "Hello 69 13.5%" into a (String, Int, Double) then the most obvious way is
val tokens = s.split(" ")
(tokens(0).toString,
tokens(1).toInt,
tokens(2).init.toDouble / 100)
// (java.lang.String, Int, Double) = (Hello,69,0.135)
Or as mentioned you could match using a regex:
val R = """(.*) (\d+) (\d*\.?\d*)%""".r
s match {
case R(str, int, dbl) => (str, int.toInt, dbl.toDouble / 100)
}
If you don't actually know what data is going to be in the String, then there probably isn't much reason to convert it from a String to the type it represents, since how can you use something that might be a String and might be in Int? Still, you could do something like this:
val int = """(\d+)""".r
val pct = """(\d*\.?\d*)%""".r
val res = s.split(" ").map {
case int(x) => x.toInt
case pct(x) => x.toDouble / 100
case str => str
} // Array[Any] = Array(Hello, 69, 0.135)
now to do anything useful you'll need to match on your values by type:
res.map {
case x: Int => println("It's an Int!")
case x: Double => println("It's a Double!")
case x: String => println("It's a String!")
case _ => println("It's a Fail!")
}
Or if you wanted to take things a bit further, you could define some extractors which will do the conversion for you:
abstract class StringExtractor[A] {
def conversion(s: String): A
def unapply(s: String): Option[A] = try { Some(conversion(s)) }
catch { case _ => None }
}
val intEx = new StringExtractor[Int] {
def conversion(s: String) = s.toInt
}
val pctEx = new StringExtractor[Double] {
val pct = """(\d*\.?\d*)%""".r
def conversion(s: String) = s match { case pct(x) => x.toDouble / 100 }
}
and use:
"Hello 69 13.5%".split(" ").map {
case intEx(x) => println(x + " is Int: " + x.isInstanceOf[Int])
case pctEx(x) => println(x + " is Double: " + x.isInstanceOf[Double])
case str => println(str)
}
prints
Hello
69 is Int: true
0.135 is Double: true
Of course, you can make the extrators match on anything you want (currency mnemonic, name begging with 'J', URL) and return whatever type you want. You're not limited to matching Strings either, if instead of StringExtractor[A] you make it Extractor[A, B].
You can read the line as a whole, split it using spaces and then convert each element (or the one you want) to ints:
scala> "1 727".split(" ").map( _.toInt )
res1: Array[Int] = Array(1, 727)
For most complex inputs, you can have a look at parser combinators.
The input you are describing is not two Ints but a String which just happens to be two Ints. Hence you need to read the String, split by the space and convert the individual Strings into Ints as suggested by #paradigmatic.
One way would be splitting and mapping:
// Assuming whatever is being read is assigned to "input"
val input = "1 727"
val Array(x, y) = input split " " map (_.toInt)
Or, if you have things a bit more complicated than that, a regular expression is usually good enough.
val twoInts = """^\s*(\d+)\s*(\d+)""".r
val Some((x, y)) = for (twoInts(a, b) <- twoInts findFirstIn input) yield (a, b)
There are other ways to use regex. See the Scala API docs about them.
Anyway, if regex patterns are becoming too complicated, then you should appeal to Scala Parser Combinators. Since you can combine both, you don't loose any of regex's power.
import scala.util.parsing.combinator._
object MyParser extends JavaTokenParsers {
def twoInts = wholeNumber ~ wholeNumber ^^ { case a ~ b => (a.toInt, b.toInt) }
}
val MyParser.Success((x, y), _) = MyParser.parse(MyParser.twoInts, input)
The first example was more simple, but harder to adapt to more complex patterns, and more vulnerable to invalid input.
I find that extractors provide some machinery that makes this type of processing nicer. And I think it works up to a certain point nicely.
object Tokens {
def unapplySeq(line: String): Option[Seq[String]] =
Some(line.split("\\s+").toSeq)
}
class RegexToken[T](pattern: String, convert: (String) => T) {
val pat = pattern.r
def unapply(token: String): Option[T] = token match {
case pat(s) => Some(convert(s))
case _ => None
}
}
object IntInput extends RegexToken[Int]("^([0-9]+)$", _.toInt)
object Word extends RegexToken[String]("^([A-Za-z]+)$", identity)
object Percent extends RegexToken[Double](
"""^([0-9]+\.?[0-9]*)%$""", _.toDouble / 100)
Now how to use:
List("1 727", "uptime 365 99.999%") collect {
case Tokens(IntInput(x), IntInput(y)) => "sum " + (x + y)
case Tokens(Word(w), IntInput(i), Percent(p)) => w + " " + (i * p)
}
// List[java.lang.String] = List(sum 728, uptime 364.99634999999995)
To use for reading lines at the console:
Iterator.continually(readLine("prompt> ")).collect{
case Tokens(IntInput(x), IntInput(y)) => "sum " + (x + y)
case Tokens(Word(w), IntInput(i), Percent(p)) => w + " " + (i * p)
case Tokens(Word("done")) => "done"
}.takeWhile(_ != "done").foreach(println)
// type any input and enter, type "done" and enter to finish
The nice thing about extractors and pattern matching is that you can add case clauses as necessary, you can use Tokens(a, b, _*) to ignore some tokens. I think they combine together nicely (for instance with literals as I did with done).
