(**) Rotate a list N places to the left.
Hint: Use the predefined functions length and (++).
rotate [] _ = []
rotate l 0 = l
rotate (x:xs) (n+1) = rotate (xs ++ [x]) n
rotate l n = rotate l (length l + n)
There are two separate cases:
- If n > 0, move the first element to the end of the list n times.
- If n < 0, convert the problem to the equivalent problem for n > 0 by adding the list's length to n.
or using cycle:
rotate xs n = take len . drop (n `mod` len) . cycle $ xs
where len = length xs
or
rotate xs n = if n >= 0 then
drop n xs ++ take n xs
else let l = ((length xs) + n) in
drop l xs ++ take l xs
or
rotate xs n = drop nn xs ++ take nn xs
where
nn = n `mod` length xs
Using a simple splitAt trick
rotate xs n
| n < 0 = rotate xs (n+len)
| n > len = rotate xs (n-len)
| otherwise = let (f,s) = splitAt n xs in s ++ f
where len = length xs
