List

all

Returns true if the provided predicate function returns true for all elements in a list, false otherwise.

fun <T> all(list: List<T>, predicate: (T) -> Boolean): Boolean =
    list.all(predicate)

allEqual

Checks if all elements in a list are equal.

fun <T> allEqual(list: List<T>): Boolean =
    if (list.isEmpty()) false else list.all { it == list[0] }

any

Returns true if the provided predicate function returns true for at least one element in a list, false otherwise.

fun <T> any(list: List<T>, predicate: (T) -> Boolean): Boolean =
    list.any(predicate)

bifurcate

Splits list into two groups. For every element in a list, if the corresponding boolean in another list is true, add the element to the first group; otherwise, add it to the second group.

// For example:
bifurcate(listOf("beep", "boop", "foo", "bar"), listOf(true, true, false, true)) // [[beep, boop, bar], [foo]]
fun <T> bifurcate(list: List<T>, filter: List<Boolean>): Pair<List<T>, List<T>> {
    require(list.size == filter.size)
    return list.zip(filter).partition { it.second }
        .let { (list1, list2) -> list1.map { it.first } to list2.map { it.first } }
}

bifurcateBy

Splits values into two groups according to a predicate function, which specifies which group an element in the input list belongs to. If the predicate function returns true, the list element belongs to the first group; otherwise, it belongs to the second group.

fun <T> bifurcateBy(list: List<T>, predicate: (T) -> Boolean): Pair<List<T>, List<T>> =
    list.partition(predicate)

chunk

Chunks a list into smaller lists of a specified size. The last list in the resulting list may have less elements than the given size.

// For example:
chunk(listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), 2) // [[1 ,2], [3, 4], [5]]
fun <T> chunk(list: List<T>, size: Int): List<List<T>> =
    list.chunked(size)

compact

Removes "falsey" values from a list.

Kotlin doesn't distinguish falsey values but they are (false, null, 0, "", [], and NaN).

fun <T> compact(list: List<T?>): List<T> {
    fun isTruthy(t: T?): Boolean = when(t) {
        null -> false
        is Boolean -> t
        is Double -> t != Double.NaN
        is Number -> t.toInt() != 0
        is String -> !t.isEmpty()
        is Array<*> -> t.size != 0
        is Collection<*> -> !t.isEmpty()
        else -> true
    }
    @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
    return list.filter(::isTruthy) as List<T>
}

countBy

countBy(listOf("one", "two", "three")) { it.length } // {3: 2, 5: 1}
fun <T, K> countBy(list: List<T>, function: (T) -> K): Map<K, Int> =
    list.groupingBy(function).eachCount()

countOccurrences

Counts the occurrences of a value in a list, using a provided equality function.

fun <T> countOccurrences(list: List<T>, target: T, equals: (T, T) -> Boolean = Objects::equals): Int =
    list.count { equals(target, it) }

concat

Concatenates multiple lists into a single list, preserving the order of the passed in elements.

fun <T> concat(first: List<T>, vararg others: List<T>): List<T> =
    first.asSequence().plus(others.asSequence().flatten()).toList()

corresponds

Tests whether every element of the first list relates to the corresponding element in the second list by satisfying the given predicate.

// For example:

fun <T, U> corresponds(first: List<T>, second: List<U>, predicate: (T, U) -> Boolean): Boolean =
    (first.size == second.size) && (first.zip(second).all { (t, u) -> predicate(t, u) })

fun <T, U> crossProduct(first: List<T>, second: List<U>): List<Pair<T, U>> =
    first.flatMap { a -> second.map { b -> a to b } }

cycle

fun <T> cycle(list: List<T>): Sequence<T> =

fun <T> partitioningBy(list: List<T>, predicate: (T) -> Boolean): Map<Boolean, List<T>> = 
    list.groupBy(predicate)

permutations

Computes all the permutations of the given list. List elements are treated unique based on their index, so a list with equal elements will return duplicate lists.

Note: this implementation uses non stack safe recursion

kotlin // For example: permutations(listOf(1, 2, 3)) // [[1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 2], [2, 1, 3], [2, 3, 1], [3, 1, 2], [3, 2, 1]]

    with(elements.toSet()) {
       list.filterNot { contains(it) }
    }

    }

reduceSuccessive

// For example:
reduceSuccessive(listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), 0) { acc, int -> acc + int } // [1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21]
fun <T, R> reduceSuccessive(list: List<T>, identity: R, function: (R, T) -> R): List<R> {
    fun <T> List<T>.lastOrElse(t: T): T = lastOrNull() ?: t
    return list.fold(emptyList()) { acc, t -> acc + function(acc.lastOrElse(identity), t) }
}

reject

Return a new list which removes elements from the list for which the given predicate returns true.

// For example:
reject(listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)) { it % 2 == 0 } // [1, 3, 5]

// For example:
rotateLeft(listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), 2) // [3, 4, 5, 1, 2]
fun <T> rotateLeft(list: List<T>, n: Int): List<T> =
    list.slice(n until list.size) + list.slice(0 until n)

rotateRight

Returns a new list which circular rotates the elements by the specified distance to the right direction. This implementation throws an exception when n is negative, though in reality a negative rotation to the right can be considered a positive rotation to the left.

slideBy(listOf(1, 2, 3, 10, 12, 5, 7, 20, 29)) { it / 10 } //  [[1, 2, 3], [10, 12], [5, 7], [20, 29]]
fun <T, R> slideBy(list: List<T>, classifier: (T) -> R): List<List<T>> {

    lazy { predicate(value) }

Map

merge

Concatenates multiple maps into a single map, preserving the order of the passed in entries.

Note: there is expensive list concatenation in this snippet.

    first.mapValues { entry -> listOf(entry.value) }.toMap(LinkedHashMap()).apply {

    list.toSet().run {
        filterKeys { contains(it) }
    }

split

Splits the original map into a pair of maps, where the first map has all entries for which the predicate evaluated to true, and the second contains all other entries.

fun <K, V> Map<K, V>.split(predicate: (K) -> Boolean): Pair<Map<K, V>, Map<K, V>> =
    (HashMap<K, V>() to HashMap<K, V>()).apply {
        forEach { key, value -> if (predicate(key)) first.put(key, value) else second.put(key, value) }
    }

toEnumMap

Given a function, transforms all the values in an enum class into an EnumMap, where the key is the enum value and the value is the result of applying the function to the enum value.

enum class Stooge { MOE, LARRY, CURLY }

fun main() {
    Stooge::class.toEnumMap { it.toString().length }.forEach(::println)
}
inline fun <reified K : Enum<K>, V> KClass<K>.toEnumMap(function: (K) -> V): EnumMap<K, V> =
    enumValues<K>().fold(EnumMap(this.java)) { map, key -> map.apply { put(key, function(key)) } }
