(**) Replicate the elements of a list a given number of times.
repli :: [a] -> Int -> [a]
repli xs n = concatMap (replicate n) xs
or, in Pointfree style:
repli = flip $ concatMap . replicate
alternatively, without using the replicate
function:
repli :: [a] -> Int -> [a]
repli xs n = concatMap (take n . repeat) xs
or, using the list monad:
repli :: [a] -> Int -> [a]
repli xs n = xs >>= replicate n
or, a more verbose solution without the use of replicate
:
repli :: [a] -> Int -> [a]
repli xs n = foldl (\acc e -> acc ++ repli' e n) [] xs
where
repli' _ 0 = []
repli' x n = x : repli' x (n-1)
or, a convoluted recursive solution that only uses cons:
repli :: [a] -> Int -> [a]
repli [] _ = []
repli (x:xs) n = foldl (\f _ -> (x:) . f) (repli xs) [1..n] n
