(**) Decode a run-length encoded list.
Given a run-length code list generated as specified in problem 11. Construct its uncompressed version.
decodeModified :: [ListItem a] -> [a]
decodeModified = concatMap decodeHelper
where
decodeHelper (Single x) = [x]
decodeHelper (Multiple n x) = replicate n x
We only need to map single instances of an element to a list containing only one element and multiple ones to a list containing the specified number of elements and concatenate these lists.
A solution for the simpler encoding from problem 10 can be given as:
decode :: [(Int, a)] -> [a]
decode = concatMap (uncurry replicate)
This can be easily extended given a helper function:
toTuple :: ListItem a -> (Int, a)
toTuple (Single x) = (1, x)
toTuple (Multiple n x) = (n, x)
as:
decode :: [ListItem a] -> [a]
decode = concatMap (uncurry replicate . toTuple)
a naïve solution with foldl
:
decode :: [ListItem a]-> [a]
decode = foldl (\x y -> x ++ decodeHelper y) []
where
decodeHelper :: ListItem a -> [a]
decodeHelper (Single x) = [x]
decodeHelper (Multiple n x) = replicate n x
foldl
can also be used to solve this problem:
decode :: [ListItem a] -> [a]
decode = foldl (\acc e -> case e of Single x -> acc ++ [x]; Multiple n x -> acc ++ replicate n x) []
