Struggling with lists of lists in Haskell - haskell

Can anybody help me with this function?
getCell :: [[Int]] -> Int -> Int -> Int
Where m i j are the indexes of the lines and the columns of the list of lists m.
the indexes start from zero and every line is the same size.
The function should return -1 if i or j are not valid.
I'm having an exam on Haskell, and despite the fact that this might show up, i still want to know how can i do it, and because i've never worked with lists of lists in Haskell, i have no idea how to start solving this problem. Can you give me a hand ?
here's what i've done so far:
getCell :: [[Int]] -> Int -> Int -> Int
getCell [] _ _ = "the list is empty!"
getCell zs x y =
if x > length zs || y > length (z:zs) then -1 else
let row = [x| x == !! head z <- zs]
column = ...
I don't know how to find the rows and the columns

This should work using the (!!) operator. First check if index is in the list, then access the element at that index using (!!).
getCell m i j = if i >= length m then -1
else let
m0 = m !! i
in if j >= length m0 then -1
else m0 !! j

Just for fun - one liner
getCell l i j = (((l ++ repeat []) !! i) ++ repeat (-1)) !! j

Create a list of divisible integers in haskell

I'm new to haskell and I'm trying to create an expression, that gives a list of integers from 0 to n, which are divisible by 3. The script I wrote doesn't work and I'm not sure for what reason.
zeroto :: Int -> [Int]
zeroto n = [x | x <- [0..n]]
where
x "mod" 3 == 0
where doesn't work like that. It's not a filter -- it's locally-scoped definitions.
However, a list comprehension does allow for filters, you've just not put it in the right place.
zeroto :: Int -> [Int]
zeroto n = [x | x <- [0..n], x `mod` 3 == 0]
Alternatively, you could define a filter function in the where block and filter afterwards, but this is kind of silly.
zeroto :: Int -> [Int]
zeroto n = divisibleByThree [0..n]
where divisibleByThree = filter (\x -> x `mod` 3 == 0)
This is not the best way but using simple recursion it can be done as
mod3Arr :: Int -> [Int]
mod3Arr 0 = [0]
mod3Arr n | nmod3 == 0 = smallerArr ++ [n]
| otherwise = smallerArr
where smallerArr = mod3Arr ( n - 1)

Haskell ways to the 3n+1 challenge

Here is a simple programming problem from SPOJ: http://www.spoj.com/problems/PROBTRES/.
Basically, you are asked to output the biggest Collatz cycle for numbers between i and j. (Collatz cycle of a number $n$ is the number of steps to eventually get from $n$ to 1.)
I have been looking for a Haskell way to solve the problem with comparative performance than that of Java or C++ (so as to fits in the allowed run-time limit). Although a simple Java solution that memoizes the cycle length of any already computed cycles will work. I haven't been successful at applying the idea to obtain a Haskell solution.
I have tried the Data.Function.Memoize, as well as home-brewed log time memoization technique using the idea from this post: Memoization in Haskell?. Unfortunately, memoization actually makes the computation of cycle(n) even slower. I believe the slow down comes from the overhead of haskell way. (I tried running with the compiled binary code, instead of interpreting.)
I also suspect that simply iterating numbers from i to j can be costly ($i,j\le10^6$). So I even tried precompute everything for the range query, using idea from http://blog.openendings.net/2013/10/range-trees-and-profiling-in-haskell.html. However, this still gives "Time Limit Exceeding" error.
Can you help to inform a neat competitive Haskell program for this?
Thanks!
>>> using the approach bellow, I could submit an accepted answer to SPOJ. You may check the entire code from here.
The problem has bounds 0 < n < 1,000,000. Pre-calculate all of them and store them inside an array; then freeze the array. The array can be used as its own cache / memoization space.
The problem would then reduce to a range query problem over an array, which can be done very efficiently using trees.
With the code bellow I can get Collatz of 1..1,000,000 in a fraction of a second:
$ time echo 1000000 | ./collatz
525
real 0m0.177s
user 0m0.173s
sys 0m0.003s
Note that collatz function below, uses mutable STUArray internally, but itself is a pure function:
import Control.Monad.ST (ST)
import Control.Monad (mapM_)
import Control.Applicative ((<$>))
import Data.Array.Unboxed (UArray, elems)
import Data.Array.ST (STUArray, readArray, writeArray, runSTUArray, newArray)
collatz :: Int -> UArray Int Int
collatz size = out
where
next i = if odd i then 3 * i + 1 else i `div` 2
loop :: STUArray s Int Int -> Int -> ST s Int
loop arr k
| size < k = succ <$> loop arr (next k)
| otherwise = do
out <- readArray arr k
if out /= 0 then return out
else do
out <- succ <$> loop arr (next k)
writeArray arr k out
return out
out = runSTUArray $ do
arr <- newArray (1, size) 0
writeArray arr 1 1
mapM_ (loop arr) [2..size]
return arr
main = do
size <- read <$> getLine
print . maximum . elems $ collatz size
In order to perform range queries on this array, you may build a balanced tree as simple as below:
type Range = (Int, Int)
data Tree = Leaf Int | Node Tree Tree Range Int
build_tree :: Int -> Tree
build_tree size = loop 1 cnt
where
ctz = collatz size
cnt = head . dropWhile (< size) $ iterate (*2) 1
(Leaf a) +: (Leaf b) = max a b
(Node _ _ _ a) +: (Node _ _ _ b) = max a b
loop lo hi
| lo == hi = Leaf $ if size < lo then minBound else ctz ! lo
| otherwise = Node left right (lo, hi) (left +: right)
where
i = (lo + hi) `div` 2
left = loop lo i
right = loop (i + 1) hi
query_tree :: Tree -> Int -> Int -> Int
query_tree (Leaf x) _ _ = x
query_tree (Node l r (lo, hi) x) i j
| i <= lo && hi <= j = x
| mid < i = query_tree r i j
| j < 1 + mid = query_tree l i j
| otherwise = max (query_tree l i j) (query_tree r i j)
where mid = (lo + hi) `div` 2
Here is the same as in the other answer, but with an immutable recursively defined array (and it also leaks slightly (can someone say why?) and so two times slower):
import Data.Array
upper = 10^6
step :: Integer -> Int
step i = 1 + colAt (if odd i then 3 * i + 1 else i `div` 2)
colAt :: Integer -> Int
colAt i | i > upper = step i
colAt i = col!i
col :: Array Integer Int
col = array (1, upper) $ (1, 1) : [(i, step i) | i <- [2..upper]]
main = print $ maximum $ elems col

Retrieve strings from Matrix

I'm stuck with my homework task, somebody help, please..
Here is the task:
Find all possible partitions of string into words of some dictionary
And here is how I'm trying to do it:
I use dynamical programming concept to fill matrix and then I'm stuck with how to retrieve data from it
-- Task5_2
retrieve :: [[Int]] -> [String] -> Int -> Int -> Int -> [[String]]
retrieve matrix dict i j size
| i >= size || j >= size = []
| index /= 0 = [(dict !! index)]:(retrieve matrix dict (i + sizeOfWord) (i + sizeOfWord) size) ++ retrieve matrix dict i (next matrix i j) size
where index = (matrix !! i !! j) - 1; sizeOfWord = length (dict !! index)
next matrix i j
| j >= (length matrix) = j
| matrix !! i !! j > 0 = j
| otherwise = next matrix i (j + 1)
getPartitionMatrix :: String -> [String] -> [[Int]]
getPartitionMatrix text dict = [[ indiceOfWord (getWord text i j) dict 1 | j <- [1..(length text)]] | i <- [1..(length text)]]
--------------------------
getWord :: String -> Int -> Int -> String
getWord text from to = map fst $ filter (\a -> (snd a) >= from && (snd a) <= to) $ zip text [1..]
indiceOfWord :: String -> [String] -> Int -> Int
indiceOfWord _ [] _ = 0
indiceOfWord word (x:xs) n
| word == x = n
| otherwise = indiceOfWord word xs (n + 1)
-- TESTS
dictionary = ["la", "a", "laa", "l"]
string = "laa"
matr = getPartitionMatrix string dictionary
test = retrieve matr dictionary 0 0 (length string)
Here is a code that do what you ask for. It doesn't work exactly like your solution but should work as fast if (and only if) both our dictionary lookup were improved to use tries as would be reasonable. As it is I think it may be a bit faster than your solution :
module Partitions (partitions) where
import Data.Array
import Data.List
data Branches a = Empty | B [([a],Branches a)] deriving (Show)
isEmpty Empty = True
isEmpty _ = False
flatten :: Branches a -> [ [ [a] ] ]
flatten Empty = []
flatten (B []) = [[]]
flatten (B ps) = concatMap (\(word, bs) -> ...) ps
type Dictionary a = [[a]]
partitions :: (Ord a) => Dictionary a -> [a] -> [ [ [a] ] ]
partitions dict xs = flatten (parts ! 0)
where
parts = listArray (0,length xs) $ zipWith (\i ys -> starting i ys) [0..] (tails xs)
starting _ [] = B []
starting i ys
| null words = ...
| otherwise = ...
where
words = filter (`isPrefixOf` ys) $ dict
go word = (word, parts ! (i + length word))
It works like this : At each position of the string, it search all possible words starting from there in the dictionary and evaluates to a Branches, that is either a dead-end (Empty) or a list of pairs of a word and all possible continuations after it, discarding those words that can't be continued.
Dynamic programming enter the picture to record every possibilities starting from a given index in a lazy array. Note that the knot is tied : we compute parts by using starting, which uses parts to lookup which continuations are possible from a given index. This only works because we only lookup indices after the one starting is computing and starting don't use parts for the last index.
To retrieve the list of partitions from this Branches datatype is analogous to the listing of all path in a tree.
EDIT : I removed some crucial parts of the solution in order to let the questioner search for himself. Though that shouldn't be too hard to complete with some thinking. I'll probably put them back with a somewhat cleaned up version later.

Weird output from Haskell until function

I'm writing a bit of code to help me with some math stuff. I'm trying to implement the Miller test, not Miller-Rabin, and I need to make a list of a bunch of exponents. Here's the code so far. It inserts the last result twice for some reason, and I don't know why. I must not understand how the until function works.
import Math.NumberTheory.Powers
divides::Integer->Integer->Bool
divides x y = y `mod` x == 0
factorcarmichael::Integer->(Integer,Integer)
factorcarmichael n = until (\(_, s) -> not $ divides 2 s)
(\(r, s) -> (r+1, div s 2))
(0, n-1)
second::((Integer,Integer),[Integer])->[Integer]
second (x,xs) = xs
millerlist::Integer->Integer->[Integer]
millerlist a n = second $ until (\((r,s), xs) -> r<0)
(\((r,s), xs) -> ((r-1,s), (powerMod a ((2^r)*s) n):xs))
(factoredcarmichael, [])
where
factoredcarmichael = factorcarmichael n
Also, the millerlist function is a little kludgy. If someone can suggest an alternative, that would be nice.
The output I'm getting for
millerlist 8888 9746347772161
repeats the last element twice.
That is because
7974284540860^2 ≡ 7974284540860 (mod 9746347772161)
so the number appears twice in the list. But your list is one too long, I believe. I think you only want the remainder of a^(2^k*s) modulo n for 0 <= k < r.
As for alternatives, is there a particular reason why you're not using Math.NumberTheory.Primes.isStrongFermatPP? If you're only interested in the outcome, that's less work coding.
If you want to generate the list, what about
millerlist a n = go r u
where
(r,s) = factorcarmichael n
u = powerMod a s n
go 0 m = []
go k m = m : go (k-1) ((m*m) `mod` n)
or
millerlist a n = take (fromInteger r) $ iterate (\m -> (m*m) `mod` n) u
where
(r,s) = factorcarmichael n
u = powerMod a s n
