## Change log

See the [`NEWS.md`](NEWS.md) file.

### Upcoming breaking change!

- For backward compatibility reasons, `-zip` when called with two
  lists returns a list of cons cells, rather than a list of proper
  lists.  This is a clunky API, and may be changed in a future release
  to always return a list of proper lists, as `-zip-lists` currently
  does.

  **N.B.:** Do not rely on the current behavior of `-zip` for two
  lists.  Instead, use `-zip-pair` for a list of cons cells, and
  `-zip-lists` for a list of proper lists.

## Installation

Dash is available on [GNU ELPA](https://elpa.gnu.org/), [GNU-devel
ELPA](https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/), and [MELPA](https://melpa.org/),
and can be installed with the standard command `package-install`:

    M-x package-install RET dash RET

See [`(info "(emacs) Package
Installation")`](https://gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Package-Installation.html).

Alternatively, you can just dump `dash.el` in your `load-path`
somewhere.  See [`(info "(emacs) Lisp
Libraries")`](https://gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Lisp-Libraries.html).

### Using in a package

Add something like this to the library's headers:

    ;; Package-Requires: ((dash "2.19.1"))

See [`(info "(elisp) Library
Headers")`](https://gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Library-Headers.html).

### Fontification of special variables

Font lock of special Dash variables (`it`, `acc`, etc.) in Emacs Lisp
buffers can optionally be enabled with the autoloaded minor mode
`dash-fontify-mode`.  In older Emacs versions which do not dynamically
detect macros, the minor mode also fontifies Dash macro calls.

To automatically enable the minor mode in all Emacs Lisp buffers, just
call its autoloaded global counterpart `global-dash-fontify-mode`,
either interactively or from your `user-init-file`:

```el
(global-dash-fontify-mode)
```

### Info symbol lookup

While editing Elisp files, you can use `C-h S` (`info-lookup-symbol`)
to look up Elisp symbols in the relevant Info manuals (see [`(emacs)
Info
Lookup`](https://gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Info-Lookup.html)).
To enable the same for Dash symbols, use the command
`dash-register-info-lookup`.  It can be called directly when needed,
or automatically from your `user-init-file`.  For example:

```el
(with-eval-after-load 'info-look
  (dash-register-info-lookup))
```

## Functions

All functions and constructs in the library use a dash (`-`) prefix.

The library also provides anaphoric macro versions of functions where
that makes sense.  The names of these macros are prefixed with two
dashes (`--`) instead of one.

While `-map` applies a function to each element of a list, its
anaphoric counterpart `--map` evaluates a form with the local variable
`it` temporarily bound to the current list element instead.  For
example:

```el
(-map (lambda (n) (* n n)) '(1 2 3 4)) ; Normal version.
(--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4))           ; Anaphoric version.
```

The normal version can of course also be written as follows:

```el
(defun my-square (n)
  "Return N multiplied by itself."
  (* n n))

(-map #'my-square '(1 2 3 4))
```

This demonstrates the utility of both versions.

## Maps

Functions in this category take a transforming function, which
is then applied sequentially to each or selected elements of the
input list.  The results are collected in order and returned as a
new list.

#### -map `(fn list)`

Apply `fn` to each item in `list` and return the list of results.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--map`.

```el
(-map (lambda (num) (* num num)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 4 9 16)
(-map #'1+ '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (2 3 4 5)
(--map (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 4 9 16)
```

#### -map-when `(pred rep list)`

Use `pred` to conditionally apply `rep` to each item in `list`.
Return a copy of `list` where the items for which `pred` returns `nil`
are unchanged, and the rest are mapped through the `rep` function.

Alias: `-replace-where`

See also: [`-update-at`](#-update-at-n-func-list)

```el
(-map-when 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 4 3 16)
(--map-when (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 2 9 16)
(--map-when (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 17 3 4)
```

#### -map-first `(pred rep list)`

Use `pred` to determine the first item in `list` to call `rep` on.
Return a copy of `list` where the first item for which `pred` returns
non-`nil` is replaced with the result of calling `rep` on that item.

See also: [`-map-when`](#-map-when-pred-rep-list), [`-replace-first`](#-replace-first-old-new-list)

```el
(-map-first 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 4 3 4)
(--map-first (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 2 9 4)
(--map-first (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 2)) ;; => (1 17 3 2)
```

#### -map-last `(pred rep list)`

Use `pred` to determine the last item in `list` to call `rep` on.
Return a copy of `list` where the last item for which `pred` returns
non-`nil` is replaced with the result of calling `rep` on that item.

See also: [`-map-when`](#-map-when-pred-rep-list), [`-replace-last`](#-replace-last-old-new-list)

```el
(-map-last 'even? 'square '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 2 3 16)
(--map-last (> it 2) (* it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 2 3 16)
(--map-last (= it 2) 17 '(1 2 3 2)) ;; => (1 2 3 17)
```

#### -map-indexed `(fn list)`

Apply `fn` to each index and item in `list` and return the list of results.
This is like [`-map`](#-map-fn-list), but `fn` takes two arguments: the index of the
current element within `list`, and the element itself.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--map-indexed`.

For a side-effecting variant, see also [`-each-indexed`](#-each-indexed-list-fn).

```el
(-map-indexed (lambda (index item) (- item index)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 1 1 1)
(--map-indexed (- it it-index) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 1 1 1)
(-map-indexed #'* '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (0 2 6 12)
```

#### -annotate `(fn list)`

Pair each item in `list` with the result of passing it to `fn`.

Return an alist of (`result` . `item`), where each `item` is the
corresponding element of `list`, and `result` is the value obtained
by calling `fn` on `item`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--annotate`.

```el
(-annotate #'1+ '(1 2 3)) ;; => ((2 . 1) (3 . 2) (4 . 3))
(-annotate #'length '((f o o) (bar baz))) ;; => ((3 f o o) (2 bar baz))
(--annotate (> it 1) '(0 1 2 3)) ;; => ((nil . 0) (nil . 1) (t . 2) (t . 3))
```

#### -splice `(pred fun list)`

Splice lists generated by `fun` in place of items satisfying `pred` in `list`.

Call `pred` on each element of `list`.  Whenever the result of `pred`
is `nil`, leave that `it` as-is.  Otherwise, call `fun` on the same
`it` that satisfied `pred`.  The result should be a (possibly
empty) list of items to splice in place of `it` in `list`.

This can be useful as an alternative to the `,@` construct in a
``' structure, in case you need to splice several lists at
marked positions (for example with keywords).

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--splice`.

See also: [`-splice-list`](#-splice-list-pred-new-list-list), [`-insert-at`](#-insert-at-n-x-list).

```el
(-splice #'numberp (lambda (n) (list n n)) '(a 1 b 2)) ;; => (a 1 1 b 2 2)
(--splice t (list it it) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4)
(--splice (eq it :magic) '((magical) (code)) '((foo) :magic (bar))) ;; => ((foo) (magical) (code) (bar))
```

#### -splice-list `(pred new-list list)`

Splice `new-list` in place of elements matching `pred` in `list`.

See also: [`-splice`](#-splice-pred-fun-list), [`-insert-at`](#-insert-at-n-x-list)

```el
(-splice-list 'keywordp '(a b c) '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => (1 a b c 2)
(-splice-list 'keywordp nil '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => (1 2)
(--splice-list (keywordp it) '(a b c) '(1 :foo 2)) ;; => (1 a b c 2)
```

#### -mapcat `(fn list)`

Return the concatenation of the result of mapping `fn` over `list`.
Thus function `fn` should return a list.

```el
(-mapcat 'list '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-mapcat (lambda (item) (list 0 item)) '(1 2 3)) ;; => (0 1 0 2 0 3)
(--mapcat (list 0 it) '(1 2 3)) ;; => (0 1 0 2 0 3)
```

#### -copy `(list)`

Create a shallow copy of `list`.

```el
(-copy '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 2 3)
(let ((a '(1 2 3))) (eq a (-copy a))) ;; => nil
```

## Sublist selection

Functions returning a sublist of the original list.

#### -filter `(pred list)`

Return a new list of the items in `list` for which `pred` returns non-`nil`.

Alias: `-select`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--filter`.

For similar operations, see also [`-keep`](#-keep-fn-list) and [`-remove`](#-remove-pred-list).

```el
(-filter (lambda (num) (= 0 (% num 2))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (2 4)
(-filter #'natnump '(-2 -1 0 1 2)) ;; => (0 1 2)
(--filter (= 0 (% it 2)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (2 4)
```

#### -remove `(pred list)`

Return a new list of the items in `list` for which `pred` returns `nil`.

Alias: `-reject`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--remove`.

For similar operations, see also [`-keep`](#-keep-fn-list) and [`-filter`](#-filter-pred-list).

```el
(-remove (lambda (num) (= 0 (% num 2))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 3)
(-remove #'natnump '(-2 -1 0 1 2)) ;; => (-2 -1)
(--remove (= 0 (% it 2)) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (1 3)
```

#### -remove-first `(pred list)`

Remove the first item from `list` for which `pred` returns non-`nil`.
This is a non-destructive operation, but only the front of `list`
leading up to the removed item is a copy; the rest is `list`'s
original tail.  If no item is removed, then the result is a
complete copy.

Alias: `-reject-first`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--remove-first`.

See also [`-map-first`](#-map-first-pred-rep-list), [`-remove-item`](#-remove-item-item-list), and [`-remove-last`](#-remove-last-pred-list).

```el

```

#### -select-columns `(columns table)`

(-concat '(1) '(2 3) '(4)) ;; => (1 2 3 4)
```

#### -flatten `(l)`

Take a nested list `l` and return its contents as a single, flat list.

Note that because `nil` represents a list of zero elements (an
empty list), any mention of `nil` in `l` will disappear after
flattening.  If you need to preserve nils, consider [`-flatten-n`](#-flatten-n-num-list)
or map them to some unique symbol and then map them back.

Conses of two atoms are considered "terminals", that is, they
aren't flattened further.

```el
(-flatten '((1))) ;; => (1)
(-flatten '((1 (2 3) (((4 (5))))))) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5)

## Reductions

Functions reducing lists to a single value (which may also be a list).

#### -reduce-from `(fn init list)`

Reduce the function `fn` across `list`, starting with `init`.
Return the result of applying `fn` to `init` and the first element of
`list`, then applying `fn` to that result and the second element,
etc.  If `list` is empty, return `init` without calling `fn`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--reduce-from`.

For other folds, see also [`-reduce`](#-reduce-fn-list) and [`-reduce-r`](#-reduce-r-fn-list).

```el
(-reduce-from #'- 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => 4
(-reduce-from #'list 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => (((10 1) 2) 3)
(--reduce-from (concat acc " " it) "START" '("a" "b" "c")) ;; => "START a b c"
```

#### -reduce-r-from `(fn init list)`

Reduce the function `fn` across `list` in reverse, starting with `init`.
Return the result of applying `fn` to the last element of `list` and
`init`, then applying `fn` to the second-to-last element and the
previous result of `fn`, etc.  That is, the first argument of `fn` is
the current element, and its second argument the accumulated
value.  If `list` is empty, return `init` without calling `fn`.

This function is like [`-reduce-from`](#-reduce-from-fn-init-list) but the operation associates
from the right rather than left.  In other words, it starts from
the end of `list` and flips the arguments to `fn`.  Conceptually, it
is like replacing the conses in `list` with applications of `fn`, and
its last link with `init`, and evaluating the resulting expression.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--reduce-r-from`.

For other folds, see also [`-reduce-r`](#-reduce-r-fn-list) and [`-reduce`](#-reduce-fn-list).

```el
(-reduce-r-from #'- 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => -8
(-reduce-r-from #'list 10 '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 (2 (3 10)))
(--reduce-r-from (concat it " " acc) "END" '("a" "b" "c")) ;; => "a b c END"
```

#### -reduce `(fn list)`

Reduce the function `fn` across `list`.
Return the result of applying `fn` to the first two elements of
`list`, then applying `fn` to that result and the third element, etc.
If `list` contains a single element, return it without calling `fn`.
If `list` is empty, return the result of calling `fn` with no
arguments.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--reduce`.

For other folds, see also [`-reduce-from`](#-reduce-from-fn-init-list) and [`-reduce-r`](#-reduce-r-fn-list).

```el
(-reduce #'- '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => -8
(-reduce #'list '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (((1 2) 3) 4)
(--reduce (format "%s-%d" acc it) '(1 2 3)) ;; => "1-2-3"
```

#### -reduce-r `(fn list)`

Reduce the function `fn` across `list` in reverse.
Return the result of applying `fn` to the last two elements of
`list`, then applying `fn` to the third-to-last element and the
previous result of `fn`, etc.  That is, the first argument of `fn` is
the current element, and its second argument the accumulated
value.  If `list` contains a single element, return it without
calling `fn`.  If `list` is empty, return the result of calling `fn`
with no arguments.

This function is like [`-reduce`](#-reduce-fn-list) but the operation associates from
the right rather than left.  In other words, it starts from the
end of `list` and flips the arguments to `fn`.  Conceptually, it is
like replacing the conses in `list` with applications of `fn`,
ignoring its last link, and evaluating the resulting expression.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--reduce-r`.

For other folds, see also [`-reduce-r-from`](#-reduce-r-from-fn-init-list) and [`-reduce`](#-reduce-fn-list).

Return the longest common suffix of `lists`.

```el
(-common-suffix '(1)) ;; => (1)
(-common-suffix '(1 2) '(3 4) '(1 2)) ;; => ()
(-common-suffix '(1 2 3 4) '(2 3 4) '(3 4)) ;; => (3 4)
```

#### -min `(list)`

Return the smallest value from `list` of numbers or markers.

```el
(-min '(0)) ;; => 0
(-min '(3 2 1)) ;; => 1
(-min '(1 2 3)) ;; => 1
```

#### -min-by `(comparator list)`

Take a comparison function `comparator` and a `list` and return
the least element of the list by the comparison function.

See also combinator [`-on`](#-on-op-trans) which can transform the values before
comparing them.

```el
(-min-by '> '(4 3 6 1)) ;; => 1
(--min-by (> (car it) (car other)) '((1 2 3) (2) (3 2))) ;; => (1 2 3)
(--min-by (> (length it) (length other)) '((1 2 3) (2) (3 2))) ;; => (2)
```

#### -max `(list)`

Return the largest value from `list` of numbers or markers.

```el
(-max '(0)) ;; => 0
(-max '(3 2 1)) ;; => 3
(-max '(1 2 3)) ;; => 3
```

#### -max-by `(comparator list)`

Take a comparison function `comparator` and a `list` and return
the greatest element of the list by the comparison function.

See also combinator [`-on`](#-on-op-trans) which can transform the values before
comparing them.

```el
(-max-by '> '(4 3 6 1)) ;; => 6
(--max-by (> (car it) (car other)) '((1 2 3) (2) (3 2))) ;; => (3 2)
(--max-by (> (length it) (length other)) '((1 2 3) (2) (3 2))) ;; => (1 2 3)
```

#### -frequencies `(list)`

Count the occurrences of each distinct element of `list`.

Return an alist of (`element` . `n`), where each `element` occurs `n`
times in `list`.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.

See also [`-count`](#-count-pred-list) and [`-group-by`](#-group-by-fn-list).

```el
(-frequencies ()) ;; => ()
(-frequencies '(1 2 3 1 2 1)) ;; => ((1 . 3) (2 . 2) (3 . 1))
(let ((-compare-fn #'string=)) (-frequencies '(a "a"))) ;; => ((a . 2))
```

## Unfolding

Operations dual to reductions, building lists from a seed
value rather than consuming a list to produce a single value.

#### -iterate `(fun init n)`

Return a list of iterated applications of `fun` to `init`.

This means a list of the form:

    (`init` (`fun` `init`) (`fun` (`fun` `init`)) ...)

`n` is the length of the returned list.

```el
(-iterate #'1+ 1 10) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
(-iterate (lambda (x) (+ x x)) 2 5) ;; => (2 4 8 16 32)
(--iterate (* it it) 2 5) ;; => (2 4 16 256 65536)
```

#### -unfold `(fun seed)`

Build a list from `seed` using `fun`.

This is "dual" operation to [`-reduce-r`](#-reduce-r-fn-list): while -reduce-r
consumes a list to produce a single value, [`-unfold`](#-unfold-fun-seed) takes a
seed value and builds a (potentially infinite!) list.

`fun` should return `nil` to stop the generating process, or a
cons (`a` . `b`), where `a` will be prepended to the result and `b` is
the new seed.

```el
(-unfold (lambda (x) (unless (= x 0) (cons x (1- x)))) 10) ;; => (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1)
(--unfold (when it (cons it (cdr it))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2 3 4) (2 3 4) (3 4) (4))
(--unfold (when it (cons it (butlast it))) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2 3 4) (1 2 3) (1 2) (1))
```

#### -repeat `(n x)`

Return a new list of length `n` with each element being `x`.
Return `nil` if `n` is less than 1.

```el
(-repeat 3 :a) ;; => (:a :a :a)
(-repeat 1 :a) ;; => (:a)
(-repeat 0 :a) ;; => ()
```

#### -cycle `(list)`

Return an infinite circular copy of `list`.
The returned list cycles through the elements of `list` and repeats
from the beginning.

```el
(-take 5 (-cycle '(1 2 3))) ;; => (1 2 3 1 2)
(-take 7 (-cycle '(1 "and" 3))) ;; => (1 "and" 3 1 "and" 3 1)
(-zip (-cycle '(1 2 3)) '(1 2)) ;; => ((1 . 1) (2 . 2))
```

## Predicates

Reductions of one or more lists to a boolean value.

#### -some `(pred list)`

Return (`pred` x) for the first `list` item where (`pred` x) is non-`nil`, else `nil`.

Alias: `-any`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--some`.

```el
(-some #'stringp '(1 "2" 3)) ;; => t
(--some (string-match-p "x" it) '("foo" "axe" "xor")) ;; => 1
(--some (= it-index 3) '(0 1 2)) ;; => nil
```

#### -every `(pred list)`

Return non-`nil` if `pred` returns non-`nil` for all items in `list`.
If so, return the last such result of `pred`.  Otherwise, once an
item is reached for which `pred` returns `nil`, return `nil` without
calling `pred` on any further `list` elements.

This function is like `-every-p`, but on success returns the last
non-`nil` result of `pred` instead of just `t`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--every`.

```el
(-every #'numberp '(1 2 3)) ;; => t
(--every (string-match-p "x" it) '("axe" "xor")) ;; => 0
(--every (= it it-index) '(0 1 3)) ;; => nil
```

#### -any? `(pred list)`

Return `t` if (`pred` `x`) is non-`nil` for any `x` in `list`, else `nil`.

Alias: `-any-p`, `-some?`, `-some-p`

```el
(-any? #'numberp '(nil 0 t)) ;; => t
(-any? #'numberp '(nil t t)) ;; => nil
(-any? #'null '(1 3 5)) ;; => nil
```

#### -all? `(pred list)`

Return `t` if (`pred` `x`) is non-`nil` for all `x` in `list`, else `nil`.
In the latter case, stop after the first `x` for which (`pred` `x`) is
`nil`, without calling `pred` on any subsequent elements of `list`.

The similar function [`-every`](#-every-pred-list) is more widely useful, since it
returns the last non-`nil` result of `pred` instead of just `t` on
success.

Alias: `-all-p`, `-every-p`, `-every?`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--all?`.

```el
(-all? #'numberp '(1 2 3)) ;; => t
(-all? #'numberp '(2 t 6)) ;; => nil
(--all? (= 0 (% it 2)) '(2 4 6)) ;; => t
```

#### -none? `(pred list)`

Return `t` if (`pred` `x`) is `nil` for all `x` in `list`, else `nil`.

Alias: `-none-p`

```el
(-none? 'even? '(1 2 3)) ;; => nil
(-none? 'even? '(1 3 5)) ;; => t
(--none? (= 0 (% it 2)) '(1 2 3)) ;; => nil
```

#### -only-some? `(pred list)`

Return `t` if different `list` items both satisfy and do not satisfy `pred`.
That is, if `pred` returns both `nil` for at least one item, and
non-`nil` for at least one other item in `list`.  Return `nil` if all
items satisfy the predicate or none of them do.

Alias: `-only-some-p`

```el
(-only-some? 'even? '(1 2 3)) ;; => t
(-only-some? 'even? '(1 3 5)) ;; => nil
(-only-some? 'even? '(2 4 6)) ;; => nil
```

#### -contains? `(list element)`

Return non-`nil` if `list` contains `element`.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.  As with `member`, the return value is
actually the tail of `list` whose car is `element`.

Alias: `-contains-p`.

```el
(-contains? '(1 2 3) 1) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-contains? '(1 2 3) 2) ;; => (2 3)
(-contains? '(1 2 3) 4) ;; => ()
```

#### -is-prefix? `(prefix list)`

Return non-`nil` if `prefix` is a prefix of `list`.

Alias: `-is-prefix-p`.

```el
(-is-prefix? '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => t
(-is-prefix? '(1 2 3 4 5) '(1 2 3)) ;; => nil
(-is-prefix? '(1 3) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => nil
```

#### -is-suffix? `(suffix list)`

Return non-`nil` if `suffix` is a suffix of `list`.

Alias: `-is-suffix-p`.

```el
(-is-suffix? '(3 4 5) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => t
(-is-suffix? '(1 2 3 4 5) '(3 4 5)) ;; => nil
(-is-suffix? '(3 5) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => nil
```

#### -is-infix? `(infix list)`

Return non-`nil` if `infix` is infix of `list`.

This operation runs in O(n^2) time

Alias: `-is-infix-p`

```el
(-is-infix? '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => t
(-is-infix? '(2 3 4) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => t
(-is-infix? '(3 4 5) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => t
```

#### -cons-pair? `(obj)`

Return non-`nil` if `obj` is a true cons pair.
That is, a cons (`a` . `b`) where `b` is not a list.

Alias: `-cons-pair-p`.

```el
(-cons-pair? '(1 . 2)) ;; => t
(-cons-pair? '(1 2)) ;; => nil
(-cons-pair? '(1)) ;; => nil
```

## Partitioning

Functions partitioning the input list into a list of lists.

#### -split-at `(n list)`

Split `list` into two sublists after the `n`th element.
The result is a list of two elements (`take` `drop`) where `take` is a
new list of the first `n` elements of `list`, and `drop` is the
remaining elements of `list` (not a copy).  `take` and `drop` are like
the results of [`-take`](#-take-n-list) and [`-drop`](#-drop-n-list), respectively, but the split
is done in a single list traversal.

```el
(-split-at 3 '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (4 5))
(-split-at 17 '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => ((1 2 3 4 5) nil)
(-split-at 0 '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => (nil (1 2 3 4 5))
```

#### -split-with `(pred list)`

Split `list` into a prefix satisfying `pred`, and the rest.
The first sublist is the prefix of `list` with successive elements
satisfying `pred`, and the second sublist is the remaining elements
that do not.  The result is like performing

    ((-take-while `pred` `list`) (-drop-while `pred` `list`))

but in no more than a single pass through `list`.

```el
(-split-with 'even? '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => (nil (1 2 3 4))
(-split-with 'even? '(2 4 5 6)) ;; => ((2 4) (5 6))
(--split-with (< it 4) '(1 2 3 4 3 2 1)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (4 3 2 1))
```

#### -split-on `(item list)`

Split the `list` each time `item` is found.

Unlike [`-partition-by`](#-partition-by-fn-list), the `item` is discarded from the results.
Empty lists are also removed from the result.

Comparison is done by `equal`.

See also [`-split-when`](#-split-when-fn-list)

```el
(-split-on '| '(Nil | Leaf a | Node [Tree a])) ;; => ((Nil) (Leaf a) (Node [Tree a]))
(-split-on :endgroup '("a" "b" :endgroup "c" :endgroup "d" "e")) ;; => (("a" "b") ("c") ("d" "e"))
(-split-on :endgroup '("a" "b" :endgroup :endgroup "d" "e")) ;; => (("a" "b") ("d" "e"))
```

#### -split-when `(fn list)`

Split the `list` on each element where `fn` returns non-`nil`.

Unlike [`-partition-by`](#-partition-by-fn-list), the "matched" element is discarded from
the results.  Empty lists are also removed from the result.

This function can be thought of as a generalization of
`split-string`.

```el
(-split-when 'even? '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) ;; => ((1) (3) (5))
(-split-when 'even? '(1 2 3 4 6 8 9)) ;; => ((1) (3) (9))
(--split-when (memq it '(&optional &rest)) '(a b &optional c d &rest args)) ;; => ((a b) (c d) (args))
```

#### -separate `(pred list)`

Split `list` into two sublists based on whether items satisfy `pred`.
The result is like performing

    ((-filter `pred` `list`) (-remove `pred` `list`))

but in a single pass through `list`.

```el
(-separate (lambda (num) (= 0 (% num 2))) '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((2 4 6) (1 3 5 7))
(--separate (< it 5) '(3 7 5 9 3 2 1 4 6)) ;; => ((3 3 2 1 4) (7 5 9 6))
(-separate 'cdr '((1 2) (1) (1 2 3) (4))) ;; => (((1 2) (1 2 3)) ((1) (4)))
```

#### -partition `(n list)`

Return a new list with the items in `list` grouped into `n`-sized sublists.
If there are not enough items to make the last group `n`-sized,
those items are discarded.

```el
(-partition 2 '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
(-partition 2 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
(-partition 3 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (4 5 6))
```

#### -partition-all `(n list)`

Return a new list with the items in `list` grouped into `n`-sized sublists.
The last group may contain less than `n` items.

```el
(-partition-all 2 '(1 2 3 4 5 6)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
(-partition-all 2 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4) (5 6) (7))
(-partition-all 3 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (4 5 6) (7))
```

#### -partition-in-steps `(n step list)`

Partition `list` into sublists of length `n` that are `step` items apart.
Like [`-partition-all-in-steps`](#-partition-all-in-steps-n-step-list), but if there are not enough items
to make the last group `n`-sized, those items are discarded.

```el
(-partition-in-steps 2 1 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2) (2 3) (3 4))
(-partition-in-steps 3 2 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2 3))
(-partition-in-steps 3 2 '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (3 4 5))
```

#### -partition-all-in-steps `(n step list)`

Partition `list` into sublists of length `n` that are `step` items apart.
Adjacent groups may overlap if `n` exceeds the `step` stride.
Trailing groups may contain less than `n` items.

```el
(-partition-all-in-steps 2 1 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2) (2 3) (3 4) (4))
(-partition-all-in-steps 3 2 '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (3 4))
(-partition-all-in-steps 3 2 '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (3 4 5) (5))
```

#### -partition-by `(fn list)`

Apply `fn` to each item in `list`, splitting it each time `fn` returns a new value.

```el
(-partition-by 'even? ()) ;; => ()
(-partition-by 'even? '(1 1 2 2 2 3 4 6 8)) ;; => ((1 1) (2 2 2) (3) (4 6 8))
(--partition-by (< it 3) '(1 2 3 4 3 2 1)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4 3) (2 1))
```

#### -partition-by-header `(fn list)`

Apply `fn` to the first item in `list`. That is the header
value. Apply `fn` to each item in `list`, splitting it each time `fn`
returns the header value, but only after seeing at least one
other value (the body).

```el
(--partition-by-header (= it 1) '(1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 4)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (1 2) (1 2 3 4))
(--partition-by-header (> it 0) '(1 2 0 1 0 1 2 3 0)) ;; => ((1 2 0) (1 0) (1 2 3 0))
(-partition-by-header 'even? '(2 1 1 1 4 1 3 5 6 6 1)) ;; => ((2 1 1 1) (4 1 3 5) (6 6 1))
```

#### -partition-after-pred `(pred list)`

Partition `list` after each element for which `pred` returns non-`nil`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--partition-after-pred`.

```el
(-partition-after-pred #'booleanp ()) ;; => ()
(-partition-after-pred #'booleanp '(t t)) ;; => ((t) (t))
(-partition-after-pred #'booleanp '(0 0 t t 0 t)) ;; => ((0 0 t) (t) (0 t))
```

#### -partition-before-pred `(pred list)`

Partition directly before each time `pred` is true on an element of `list`.

```el
(-partition-before-pred #'booleanp ()) ;; => ()
(-partition-before-pred #'booleanp '(0 t)) ;; => ((0) (t))
(-partition-before-pred #'booleanp '(0 0 t 0 t t)) ;; => ((0 0) (t 0) (t) (t))
```

#### -partition-before-item `(item list)`

Partition directly before each time `item` appears in `list`.

```el
(-partition-before-item 3 ()) ;; => ()
(-partition-before-item 3 '(1)) ;; => ((1))
(-partition-before-item 3 '(3)) ;; => ((3))
```

#### -partition-after-item `(item list)`

Partition directly after each time `item` appears in `list`.

```el
(-partition-after-item 3 ()) ;; => ()
(-partition-after-item 3 '(1)) ;; => ((1))
(-partition-after-item 3 '(3)) ;; => ((3))
```

#### -group-by `(fn list)`

Separate `list` into an alist whose keys are `fn` applied to the
elements of `list`.  Keys are compared by `equal`.

```el
(-group-by 'even? ()) ;; => ()
(-group-by 'even? '(1 1 2 2 2 3 4 6 8)) ;; => ((nil 1 1 3) (t 2 2 2 4 6 8))
(--group-by (car (split-string it "/")) '("a/b" "c/d" "a/e")) ;; => (("a" "a/b" "a/e") ("c" "c/d"))
```

## Indexing

Functions retrieving or sorting based on list indices and
related predicates.

#### -elem-index `(elem list)`

Return the first index of `elem` in `list`.
That is, the index within `list` of the first element that is
`equal` to `elem`.  Return `nil` if there is no such element.

See also: [`-find-index`](#-find-index-pred-list).

```el
(-elem-index 2 '(6 7 8 3 4)) ;; => nil
(-elem-index "bar" '("foo" "bar" "baz")) ;; => 1
(-elem-index '(1 2) '((3) (5 6) (1 2) nil)) ;; => 2
```

#### -elem-indices `(elem list)`

Return the list of indices at which `elem` appears in `list`.
That is, the indices of all elements of `list` `equal` to `elem`, in
the same ascending order as they appear in `list`.

```el
(-elem-indices 2 '(6 7 8 3 4 1)) ;; => ()
(-elem-indices "bar" '("foo" "bar" "baz")) ;; => (1)
(-elem-indices '(1 2) '((3) (1 2) (5 6) (1 2) nil)) ;; => (1 3)
```

#### -find-index `(pred list)`

Return the index of the first item satisfying `pred` in `list`.
Return `nil` if no such item is found.

`pred` is called with one argument, the current list element, until
it returns non-`nil`, at which point the search terminates.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--find-index`.

See also: [`-first`](#-first-pred-list), [`-find-last-index`](#-find-last-index-pred-list).

```el
(-find-index #'numberp '(a b c)) ;; => nil
(-find-index #'natnump '(1 0 -1)) ;; => 0
(--find-index (> it 5) '(2 4 1 6 3 3 5 8)) ;; => 3
```

#### -find-last-index `(pred list)`

Return the index of the last item satisfying `pred` in `list`.
Return `nil` if no such item is found.

Predicate `pred` is called with one argument each time, namely the
current list element.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--find-last-index`.

See also: [`-last`](#-last-pred-list), [`-find-index`](#-find-index-pred-list).

```el
(-find-last-index #'numberp '(a b c)) ;; => nil
(--find-last-index (> it 5) '(2 7 1 6 3 8 5 2)) ;; => 5
(-find-last-index (-partial #'string< 'a) '(c b a)) ;; => 1
```

#### -find-indices `(pred list)`

Return the list of indices in `list` satisfying `pred`.

Each element of `list` in turn is passed to `pred`.  If the result is
non-`nil`, the index of that element in `list` is included in the
result.  The returned indices are in ascending order, i.e., in
the same order as they appear in `list`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--find-indices`.

See also: [`-find-index`](#-find-index-pred-list), [`-elem-indices`](#-elem-indices-elem-list).

```el
(-find-indices #'numberp '(a b c)) ;; => ()
(-find-indices #'numberp '(8 1 d 2 b c a 3)) ;; => (0 1 3 7)
(--find-indices (> it 5) '(2 4 1 6 3 3 5 8)) ;; => (3 7)
```

#### -grade-up `(comparator list)`

Grade elements of `list` using `comparator` relation.
This yields a permutation vector such that applying this
permutation to `list` sorts it in ascending order.

```el
(-grade-up #'< '(3 1 4 2 1 3 3)) ;; => (1 4 3 0 5 6 2)
(let ((l '(3 1 4 2 1 3 3))) (-select-by-indices (-grade-up #'< l) l)) ;; => (1 1 2 3 3 3 4)
```

#### -grade-down `(comparator list)`

Grade elements of `list` using `comparator` relation.
This yields a permutation vector such that applying this
permutation to `list` sorts it in descending order.

```el
(-grade-down #'< '(3 1 4 2 1 3 3)) ;; => (2 0 5 6 3 1 4)
(let ((l '(3 1 4 2 1 3 3))) (-select-by-indices (-grade-down #'< l) l)) ;; => (4 3 3 3 2 1 1)
```

## Set operations

Operations pretending lists are sets.

#### -union `(list1 list2)`

Return a new list of distinct elements appearing in either `list1` or `list2`.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.

```el
(-union '(1 2 3) '(3 4 5)) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5)
(-union '(1 2 2 4) ()) ;; => (1 2 4)
(-union '(1 1 2 2) '(4 4 3 2 1)) ;; => (1 2 4 3)
```

#### -difference `(list1 list2)`

Return a new list with the distinct members of `list1` that are not in `list2`.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.

```el
(-difference () ()) ;; => ()
(-difference '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-difference '(1 2 3 4) '(3 4 5 6)) ;; => (1 2)
```

#### -intersection `(list1 list2)`

Return a new list of distinct elements appearing in both `list1` and `list2`.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.

```el
(-intersection () ()) ;; => ()
(-intersection '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => ()
(-intersection '(1 2 2 3) '(4 3 3 2)) ;; => (2 3)
```

#### -powerset `(list)`

(-powerset '(x y)) ;; => ((x y) (x) (y) nil)
(-powerset '(x y z)) ;; => ((x y z) (x y) (x z) (x) (y z) (y) (z) nil)
```

#### -permutations `(list)`

Return the distinct permutations of `list`.

Duplicate elements of `list` are determined by `equal`, or by
`-compare-fn` if that is non-`nil`.

```el
(-permutations ()) ;; => (nil)
(-permutations '(a a b)) ;; => ((a a b) (a b a) (b a a))
(-permutations '(a b c)) ;; => ((a b c) (a c b) (b a c) (b c a) (c a b) (c b a))
```

#### -distinct `(list)`

Return a copy of `list` with all duplicate elements removed.

The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with `-compare-fn`
if that is non-`nil`.

Alias: `-uniq`.

```el
(-distinct ()) ;; => ()
(-distinct '(1 1 2 3 3)) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-distinct '(t t t)) ;; => (t)
```

#### -same-items? `(list1 list2)`

Return non-`nil` if `list1` and `list2` have the same distinct elements.

The order of the elements in the lists does not matter.  The
lists may be of different lengths, i.e., contain duplicate
elements.  The test for equality is done with `equal`, or with
`-compare-fn` if that is non-`nil`.

Alias: `-same-items-p`.

```el
(-same-items? '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3)) ;; => t
(-same-items? '(1 1 2 3) '(3 3 2 1)) ;; => t
(-same-items? '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => nil
```

## Other list operations

Other list functions not fit to be classified elsewhere.

#### -rotate `(n list)`

Rotate `list` `n` places to the right (left if `n` is negative).
The time complexity is O(n).

```el
(-rotate 3 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => (5 6 7 1 2 3 4)
(-rotate -3 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => (4 5 6 7 1 2 3)
(-rotate 16 '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)) ;; => (6 7 1 2 3 4 5)
```

#### -cons* `(&rest args)`

Make a new list from the elements of `args`.
The last 2 elements of `args` are used as the final cons of the
result, so if the final element of `args` is not a list, the result
is a dotted list.  With no `args`, return `nil`.

```el
(-cons* 1 2) ;; => (1 . 2)
(-cons* 1 2 3) ;; => (1 2 . 3)
(-cons* 1) ;; => 1
```

#### -snoc `(list elem &rest elements)`

Append `elem` to the end of the list.

This is like `cons`, but operates on the end of list.

If any `elements` are given, append them to the list as well.

```el
(-snoc '(1 2 3) 4) ;; => (1 2 3 4)
(-snoc '(1 2 3) 4 5 6) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5 6)
(-snoc '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => (1 2 3 (4 5 6))
```

#### -interpose `(sep list)`

Return a new list of all elements in `list` separated by `sep`.

```el
(-interpose "-" ()) ;; => ()
(-interpose "-" '("a")) ;; => ("a")
(-interpose "-" '("a" "b" "c")) ;; => ("a" "-" "b" "-" "c")
```

#### -interleave `(&rest lists)`

Return a new list of the first item in each list, then the second etc.

```el
(-interleave '(1 2) '("a" "b")) ;; => (1 "a" 2 "b")
(-interleave '(1 2) '("a" "b") '("A" "B")) ;; => (1 "a" "A" 2 "b" "B")
(-interleave '(1 2 3) '("a" "b")) ;; => (1 "a" 2 "b")
```

#### -iota `(count &optional start step)`

Return a list containing `count` numbers.
Starts from `start` and adds `step` each time.  The default `start` is
zero, the default `step` is 1.
This function takes its name from the corresponding primitive in
the `apl` language.

```el
(-iota 6) ;; => (0 1 2 3 4 5)
(-iota 4 2.5 -2) ;; => (2.5 0.5 -1.5 -3.5)
(-iota -1) ;; Wrong type argument: natnump, -1
```

#### -zip-with `(fn list1 list2)`

Zip the two lists `list1` and `list2` using a function `fn`.  This
function is applied pairwise taking as first argument element of
`list1` and as second argument element of `list2` at corresponding
position.

The anaphoric form `--zip-with` binds the elements from `list1` as symbol `it`,
and the elements from `list2` as symbol `other`.

```el
(-zip-with '+ '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => (5 7 9)
(-zip-with 'cons '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => ((1 . 4) (2 . 5) (3 . 6))
(--zip-with (concat it " and " other) '("Batman" "Jekyll") '("Robin" "Hyde")) ;; => ("Batman and Robin" "Jekyll and Hyde")
```

#### -zip `(&rest lists)`

Zip `lists` together.  Group the head of each list, followed by the
second elements of each list, and so on. The lengths of the returned
groupings are equal to the length of the shortest input list.

If two lists are provided as arguments, return the groupings as a list
of cons cells. Otherwise, return the groupings as a list of lists.

Use [`-zip-lists`](#-zip-lists-rest-lists) if you need the return value to always be a list
of lists.

Alias: `-zip-pair`

See also: [`-zip-lists`](#-zip-lists-rest-lists)

```el
(-zip '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => ((1 . 4) (2 . 5) (3 . 6))
(-zip '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 . 4) (2 . 5) (3 . 6))
(-zip '(1 2) '(3 4 5) '(6)) ;; => ((1 3 6))
```

#### -zip-lists `(&rest lists)`

Zip `lists` together.  Group the head of each list, followed by the
second elements of each list, and so on. The lengths of the returned
groupings are equal to the length of the shortest input list.

The return value is always list of lists, which is a difference
from `-zip-pair` which returns a cons-cell in case two input
lists are provided.

See also: [`-zip`](#-zip-rest-lists)

```el
(-zip-lists '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => ((1 4) (2 5) (3 6))
(-zip-lists '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6 7)) ;; => ((1 4) (2 5) (3 6))
(-zip-lists '(1 2) '(3 4 5) '(6)) ;; => ((1 3 6))
```

#### -zip-fill `(fill-value &rest lists)`

Zip `lists`, with `fill-value` padded onto the shorter lists. The
lengths of the returned groupings are equal to the length of the
longest input list.

```el
(-zip-fill 0 '(1 2 3 4 5) '(6 7 8 9)) ;; => ((1 . 6) (2 . 7) (3 . 8) (4 . 9) (5 . 0))
```

#### -unzip `(lists)`

Unzip `lists`.

This works just like [`-zip`](#-zip-rest-lists) but takes a list of lists instead of
a variable number of arguments, such that

    (-unzip (-zip `l1` `l2` `l3` ...))

is identity (given that the lists are the same length).

Note in particular that calling this on a list of two lists will
return a list of cons-cells such that the above identity works.

See also: [`-zip`](#-zip-rest-lists)

```el
(-unzip (-zip '(1 2 3) '(a b c) '("e" "f" "g"))) ;; => ((1 2 3) (a b c) ("e" "f" "g"))
(-unzip '((1 2) (3 4) (5 6) (7 8) (9 10))) ;; => ((1 3 5 7 9) (2 4 6 8 10))
(-unzip '((1 2) (3 4))) ;; => ((1 . 3) (2 . 4))
```

#### -pad `(fill-value &rest lists)`

Pad each of `lists` with `fill-value` until they all have equal lengths.

Ensure all `lists` are as long as the longest one by repeatedly
appending `fill-value` to the shorter lists, and return the
resulting `lists`.

```el
(-pad 0 ()) ;; => (nil)
(-pad 0 '(1 2) '(3 4)) ;; => ((1 2) (3 4))
(-pad 0 '(1 2) '(3 4 5 6) '(7 8 9)) ;; => ((1 2 0 0) (3 4 5 6) (7 8 9 0))
```

#### -table `(fn &rest lists)`

Compute outer product of `lists` using function `fn`.

The function `fn` should have the same arity as the number of
supplied lists.

The outer product is computed by applying fn to all possible
combinations created by taking one element from each list in
order.  The dimension of the result is (length lists).

See also: [`-table-flat`](#-table-flat-fn-rest-lists)

```el
(-table '* '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3)) ;; => ((1 2 3) (2 4 6) (3 6 9))
(-table (lambda (a b) (-sum (-zip-with '* a b))) '((1 2) (3 4)) '((1 3) (2 4))) ;; => ((7 15) (10 22))
(apply '-table 'list (-repeat 3 '(1 2))) ;; => ((((1 1 1) (2 1 1)) ((1 2 1) (2 2 1))) (((1 1 2) (2 1 2)) ((1 2 2) (2 2 2))))
```

#### -table-flat `(fn &rest lists)`

Compute flat outer product of `lists` using function `fn`.

The function `fn` should have the same arity as the number of
supplied lists.

The outer product is computed by applying fn to all possible
combinations created by taking one element from each list in
order.  The results are flattened, ignoring the tensor structure
of the result.  This is equivalent to calling:

    (-flatten-n (1- (length lists)) (apply '-table fn lists))

but the implementation here is much more efficient.

See also: [`-flatten-n`](#-flatten-n-num-list), [`-table`](#-table-fn-rest-lists)

```el
(-table-flat 'list '(1 2 3) '(a b c)) ;; => ((1 a) (2 a) (3 a) (1 b) (2 b) (3 b) (1 c) (2 c) (3 c))
(-table-flat '* '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 2 3 2 4 6 3 6 9)
(apply '-table-flat 'list (-repeat 3 '(1 2))) ;; => ((1 1 1) (2 1 1) (1 2 1) (2 2 1) (1 1 2) (2 1 2) (1 2 2) (2 2 2))
```

#### -first `(pred list)`

Return the first item in `list` for which `pred` returns non-`nil`.
Return `nil` if no such element is found.

To get the first item in the list no questions asked,
use [`-first-item`](#-first-item-list).

Alias: `-find`.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--first`.

```el
(-first #'natnump '(-1 0 1)) ;; => 0
(-first #'null '(1 2 3)) ;; => nil
(--first (> it 2) '(1 2 3)) ;; => 3
```

#### -last `(pred list)`

Return the last x in `list` where (`pred` x) is non-`nil`, else `nil`.

```el
(-last 'even? '(1 2 3 4 5 6 3 3 3)) ;; => 6
(-last 'even? '(1 3 7 5 9)) ;; => nil
(--last (> (length it) 3) '("a" "looong" "word" "and" "short" "one")) ;; => "short"
```

#### -first-item `(list)`

Return the first item of `list`, or `nil` on an empty list.

See also: [`-second-item`](#-second-item-list), [`-last-item`](#-last-item-list), etc.

```el
(-first-item ()) ;; => ()
(-first-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 1
(let ((list (list 1 2 3))) (setf (-first-item list) 5) list) ;; => (5 2 3)
```

#### -second-item `(list)`

Return the second item of `list`, or `nil` if `list` is too short.

See also: [`-first-item`](#-first-item-list), [`-third-item`](#-third-item-list), etc.

```el
(-second-item ()) ;; => ()
(-second-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 2
(let ((list (list 1 2))) (setf (-second-item list) 5) list) ;; => (1 5)
```

#### -third-item `(list)`

Return the third item of `list`, or `nil` if `list` is too short.

See also: [`-second-item`](#-second-item-list), [`-fourth-item`](#-fourth-item-list), etc.

```el
(-third-item ()) ;; => ()
(-third-item '(1 2)) ;; => ()
(-third-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 3
```

#### -fourth-item `(list)`

Return the fourth item of `list`, or `nil` if `list` is too short.

See also: [`-third-item`](#-third-item-list), [`-fifth-item`](#-fifth-item-list), etc.

```el
(-fourth-item ()) ;; => ()
(-fourth-item '(1 2 3)) ;; => ()
(-fourth-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 4
```

#### -fifth-item `(list)`

Return the fifth item of `list`, or `nil` if `list` is too short.

See also: [`-fourth-item`](#-fourth-item-list), [`-last-item`](#-last-item-list), etc.

```el
(-fifth-item ()) ;; => ()
(-fifth-item '(1 2 3 4)) ;; => ()
(-fifth-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 5
```

#### -last-item `(list)`

Return the last item of `list`, or `nil` on an empty list.

See also: [`-first-item`](#-first-item-list), etc.

```el
(-last-item ()) ;; => ()
(-last-item '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => 5
(let ((list (list 1 2 3))) (setf (-last-item list) 5) list) ;; => (1 2 5)
```

#### -butlast `(list)`

Return a list of all items in list except for the last.

```el
(-butlast '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 2)
(-butlast '(1 2)) ;; => (1)
(-butlast '(1)) ;; => nil
```

#### -sort `(comparator list)`

Sort `list`, stably, comparing elements using `comparator`.
Return the sorted list.  `list` is `not` modified by side effects.
`comparator` is called with two elements of `list`, and should return non-`nil`
if the first element should sort before the second.

```el
(-sort '< '(3 1 2)) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-sort '> '(3 1 2)) ;; => (3 2 1)
(--sort (< it other) '(3 1 2)) ;; => (1 2 3)
```

#### -list `(arg)`

Ensure `arg` is a list.
If `arg` is already a list, return it as is (not a copy).
Otherwise, return a new list with `arg` as its only element.

Another supported calling convention is (-list &rest `args`).
In this case, if `arg` is not a list, a new list with all of
`args` as elements is returned.  This use is supported for
backward compatibility and is otherwise deprecated.

```el
(-list 1) ;; => (1)
(-list ()) ;; => ()
(-list '(1 2 3)) ;; => (1 2 3)
```

#### -fix `(fn list)`

Compute the (least) fixpoint of `fn` with initial input `list`.

`fn` is called at least once, results are compared with `equal`.

```el
(-fix (lambda (l) (-non-nil (--mapcat (-split-at (/ (length it) 2) it) l))) '((1 2 3))) ;; => ((1) (2) (3))
(let ((l '((starwars scifi) (jedi starwars warrior)))) (--fix (-uniq (--mapcat (cons it (cdr (assq it l))) it)) '(jedi book))) ;; => (jedi starwars warrior scifi book)
```

## Tree operations

Functions pretending lists are trees.

#### -tree-seq `(branch children tree)`

Return a sequence of the nodes in `tree`, in depth-first search order.

`branch` is a predicate of one argument that returns non-`nil` if the
passed argument is a branch, that is, a node that can have children.

`children` is a function of one argument that returns the children
of the passed branch node.

Non-branch nodes are simply copied.

```el
(-tree-seq 'listp 'identity '(1 (2 3) 4 (5 (6 7)))) ;; => ((1 (2 3) 4 (5 (6 7))) 1 (2 3) 2 3 4 (5 (6 7)) 5 (6 7) 6 7)
(-tree-seq 'listp 'reverse '(1 (2 3) 4 (5 (6 7)))) ;; => ((1 (2 3) 4 (5 (6 7))) (5 (6 7)) (6 7) 7 6 5 4 (2 3) 3 2 1)
(--tree-seq (vectorp it) (append it nil) [1 [2 3] 4 [5 [6 7]]]) ;; => ([1 [2 3] 4 [5 [6 7]]] 1 [2 3] 2 3 4 [5 [6 7]] 5 [6 7] 6 7)
```

#### -tree-map `(fn tree)`

Apply `fn` to each element of `tree` while preserving the tree structure.

```el
(-tree-map '1+ '(1 (2 3) (4 (5 6) 7))) ;; => (2 (3 4) (5 (6 7) 8))
(-tree-map '(lambda (x) (cons x (expt 2 x))) '(1 (2 3) 4)) ;; => ((1 . 2) ((2 . 4) (3 . 8)) (4 . 16))
(--tree-map (length it) '("<body>" ("<p>" "text" "</p>") "</body>")) ;; => (6 (3 4 4) 7)
```

#### -tree-map-nodes `(pred fun tree)`

Call `fun` on each node of `tree` that satisfies `pred`.

If `pred` returns `nil`, continue descending down this node.  If `pred`
returns non-`nil`, apply `fun` to this node and do not descend
further.

```el
(-tree-map-nodes 'vectorp (lambda (x) (-sum (append x nil))) '(1 [2 3] 4 (5 [6 7] 8))) ;; => (1 5 4 (5 13 8))
(-tree-map-nodes 'keywordp (lambda (x) (symbol-name x)) '(1 :foo 4 ((5 6 :bar) :baz 8))) ;; => (1 ":foo" 4 ((5 6 ":bar") ":baz" 8))
(--tree-map-nodes (eq (car-safe it) 'add-mode) (-concat it (list :mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)) '(with-mode emacs-lisp-mode (foo bar) (add-mode a b) (baz (add-mode c d)))) ;; => (with-mode emacs-lisp-mode (foo bar) (add-mode a b :mode emacs-lisp-mode) (baz (add-mode c d :mode emacs-lisp-mode)))
```

#### -tree-reduce `(fn tree)`

Use `fn` to reduce elements of list `tree`.
If elements of `tree` are lists themselves, apply the reduction recursively.

`fn` is first applied to first element of the list and second
element, then on this result and third element from the list etc.

See [`-reduce-r`](#-reduce-r-fn-list) for how exactly are lists of zero or one element handled.

```el
(-tree-reduce '+ '(1 (2 3) (4 5))) ;; => 15
(-tree-reduce 'concat '("strings" (" on" " various") ((" levels")))) ;; => "strings on various levels"
(--tree-reduce (cond ((stringp it) (concat it " " acc)) (t (let ((sn (symbol-name it))) (concat "<" sn ">" acc "</" sn ">")))) '(body (p "some words") (div "more" (b "bold") "words"))) ;; => "<body><p>some words</p> <div>more <b>bold</b> words</div></body>"
```

#### -tree-reduce-from `(fn init-value tree)`

Use `fn` to reduce elements of list `tree`.
If elements of `tree` are lists themselves, apply the reduction recursively.

`fn` is first applied to `init-value` and first element of the list,
then on this result and second element from the list etc.

The initial value is ignored on cons pairs as they always contain
two elements.

```el
(-tree-reduce-from '+ 1 '(1 (1 1) ((1)))) ;; => 8
(--tree-reduce-from (-concat acc (list it)) nil '(1 (2 3 (4 5)) (6 7))) ;; => ((7 6) ((5 4) 3 2) 1)
```

#### -tree-mapreduce `(fn folder tree)`

Apply `fn` to each element of `tree`, and make a list of the results.
If elements of `tree` are lists themselves, apply `fn` recursively to
elements of these nested lists.

Then reduce the resulting lists using `folder` and initial value
`init-value`. See [`-reduce-r-from`](#-reduce-r-from-fn-init-list).

This is the same as calling [`-tree-reduce`](#-tree-reduce-fn-tree) after [`-tree-map`](#-tree-map-fn-tree)
but is twice as fast as it only traverse the structure once.

```el
(-tree-mapreduce 'list 'append '(1 (2 (3 4) (5 6)) (7 (8 9)))) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
(--tree-mapreduce 1 (+ it acc) '(1 (2 (4 9) (2 1)) (7 (4 3)))) ;; => 9
(--tree-mapreduce 0 (max acc (1+ it)) '(1 (2 (4 9) (2 1)) (7 (4 3)))) ;; => 3
```

#### -tree-mapreduce-from `(fn folder init-value tree)`

Apply `fn` to each element of `tree`, and make a list of the results.
If elements of `tree` are lists themselves, apply `fn` recursively to
elements of these nested lists.

Then reduce the resulting lists using `folder` and initial value
`init-value`. See [`-reduce-r-from`](#-reduce-r-from-fn-init-list).

This is the same as calling [`-tree-reduce-from`](#-tree-reduce-from-fn-init-value-tree) after [`-tree-map`](#-tree-map-fn-tree)
but is twice as fast as it only traverse the structure once.

```el
(-tree-mapreduce-from 'identity '* 1 '(1 (2 (3 4) (5 6)) (7 (8 9)))) ;; => 362880
(--tree-mapreduce-from (+ it it) (cons it acc) nil '(1 (2 (4 9) (2 1)) (7 (4 3)))) ;; => (2 (4 (8 18) (4 2)) (14 (8 6)))
(concat "{" (--tree-mapreduce-from (cond ((-cons-pair? it) (concat (symbol-name (car it)) " -> " (symbol-name (cdr it)))) (t (concat (symbol-name it) " : {"))) (concat it (unless (or (equal acc "}") (equal (substring it (1- (length it))) "{")) ", ") acc) "}" '((elisp-mode (foo (bar . booze)) (baz . qux)) (c-mode (foo . bla) (bum . bam))))) ;; => "{elisp-mode : {foo : {bar -> booze}, baz -> qux}, c-mode : {foo -> bla, bum -> bam}}"
```

#### -clone `(list)`

Create a deep copy of `list`.
The new list has the same elements and structure but all cons are
replaced with new ones.  This is useful when you need to clone a
structure such as plist or alist.

```el
(let* ((a '(1 2 3)) (b (-clone a))) (nreverse a) b) ;; => (1 2 3)
```

## Threading macros

Macros that conditionally combine sequential forms for brevity
or readability.

#### -> `(x &optional form &rest more)`

Thread the expr through the forms. Insert `x` as the second item
in the first form, making a list of it if it is not a list
already. If there are more forms, insert the first form as the
second item in second form, etc.

```el
(-> '(2 3 5)) ;; => (2 3 5)
(-> '(2 3 5) (append '(8 13))) ;; => (2 3 5 8 13)
(-> '(2 3 5) (append '(8 13)) (-slice 1 -1)) ;; => (3 5 8)
```

#### ->> `(x &optional form &rest more)`

Thread the expr through the forms. Insert `x` as the last item
in the first form, making a list of it if it is not a list
already. If there are more forms, insert the first form as the
last item in second form, etc.

```el
(->> '(1 2 3) (-map 'square)) ;; => (1 4 9)
(->> '(1 2 3) (-map 'square) (-remove 'even?)) ;; => (1 9)
(->> '(1 2 3) (-map 'square) (-reduce '+)) ;; => 14
```

#### --> `(x &rest forms)`

Starting with the value of `x`, thread each expression through `forms`.

Insert `x` at the position signified by the symbol `it` in the first
form.  If there are more forms, insert the first form at the position
signified by `it` in in second form, etc.

```el
(--> "def" (concat "abc" it "ghi")) ;; => "abcdefghi"
(--> "def" (concat "abc" it "ghi") (upcase it)) ;; => "ABCDEFGHI"
(--> "def" (concat "abc" it "ghi") upcase) ;; => "ABCDEFGHI"
```

#### -as-> `(value variable &rest forms)`

Starting with `value`, thread `variable` through `forms`.

In the first form, bind `variable` to `value`.  In the second form, bind
`variable` to the result of the first form, and so forth.

```el
(-as-> 3 my-var (1+ my-var) (list my-var) (mapcar (lambda (ele) (* 2 ele)) my-var)) ;; => (8)
(-as-> 3 my-var 1+) ;; => 4
(-as-> 3 my-var) ;; => 3
```

#### -some-> `(x &optional form &rest more)`

When expr is non-`nil`, thread it through the first form (via [`->`](#--x-optional-form-rest-more)),
and when that result is non-`nil`, through the next form, etc.

```el
(-some-> '(2 3 5)) ;; => (2 3 5)
(-some-> 5 square) ;; => 25
(-some-> 5 even? square) ;; => nil
```

#### -some->> `(x &optional form &rest more)`

When expr is non-`nil`, thread it through the first form (via [`->>`](#--x-optional-form-rest-more)),
and when that result is non-`nil`, through the next form, etc.

```el
(-some->> '(1 2 3) (-map 'square)) ;; => (1 4 9)
(-some->> '(1 3 5) (-last 'even?) (+ 100)) ;; => nil
(-some->> '(2 4 6) (-last 'even?) (+ 100)) ;; => 106
```

#### -some--> `(expr &rest forms)`

Thread `expr` through `forms` via [`-->`](#---x-rest-forms), while the result is non-`nil`.
When `expr` evaluates to non-`nil`, thread the result through the
first of `forms`, and when that result is non-`nil`, thread it
through the next form, etc.

```el
(-some--> "def" (concat "abc" it "ghi")) ;; => "abcdefghi"
(-some--> nil (concat "abc" it "ghi")) ;; => nil
(-some--> '(0 1) (-remove #'natnump it) (append it it) (-map #'1+ it)) ;; => ()
```

#### -doto `(init &rest forms)`

Evaluate `init` and pass it as argument to `forms` with [`->`](#--x-optional-form-rest-more).
The `result` of evaluating `init` is threaded through each of `forms`
individually using [`->`](#--x-optional-form-rest-more), which see.  The return value is `result`,
which `forms` may have modified by side effect.

```el
(-doto (list 1 2 3) pop pop) ;; => (3)
(-doto (cons 1 2) (setcar 3) (setcdr 4)) ;; => (3 . 4)
(gethash 'k (--doto (make-hash-table) (puthash 'k 'v it))) ;; => v
```

## Binding

Macros that combine `let` and `let*` with destructuring and flow control.

#### -when-let `((var val) &rest body)`

If `val` evaluates to non-`nil`, bind it to `var` and execute body.

Note: binding is done according to [`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body).

```el
(-when-let (match-index (string-match "d" "abcd")) (+ match-index 2)) ;; => 5
(-when-let ((&plist :foo foo) (list :foo "foo")) foo) ;; => "foo"
(-when-let ((&plist :foo foo) (list :bar "bar")) foo) ;; => nil
```

#### -when-let* `(vars-vals &rest body)`

If all `vals` evaluate to true, bind them to their corresponding
`vars` and execute body. `vars-vals` should be a list of (`var` `val`)
pairs.

Note: binding is done according to [`-let*`](#-let-varlist-rest-body).  `vals` are evaluated
sequentially, and evaluation stops after the first `nil` `val` is
encountered.

```el
(-when-let* ((x 5) (y 3) (z (+ y 4))) (+ x y z)) ;; => 15
(-when-let* ((x 5) (y nil) (z 7)) (+ x y z)) ;; => nil
```

#### -if-let `((var val) then &rest else)`

If `val` evaluates to non-`nil`, bind it to `var` and do `then`,
otherwise do `else`.

Note: binding is done according to [`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body).

```el
(-if-let (match-index (string-match "d" "abc")) (+ match-index 3) 7) ;; => 7
(--if-let (even? 4) it nil) ;; => t
```

#### -if-let* `(vars-vals then &rest else)`

If all `vals` evaluate to true, bind them to their corresponding
`vars` and do `then`, otherwise do `else`. `vars-vals` should be a list
of (`var` `val`) pairs.

Note: binding is done according to [`-let*`](#-let-varlist-rest-body).  `vals` are evaluated
sequentially, and evaluation stops after the first `nil` `val` is
encountered.

```el
(-if-let* ((x 5) (y 3) (z 7)) (+ x y z) "foo") ;; => 15
(-if-let* ((x 5) (y nil) (z 7)) (+ x y z) "foo") ;; => "foo"
(-if-let* (((_ _ x) '(nil nil 7))) x) ;; => 7
```

#### -let `(varlist &rest body)`

Bind variables according to `varlist` then eval `body`.

`varlist` is a list of lists of the form (`pattern` `source`).  Each
`pattern` is matched against the `source` "structurally".  `source`
is only evaluated once for each `pattern`.  Each `pattern` is matched
recursively, and can therefore contain sub-patterns which are
matched against corresponding sub-expressions of `source`.

All the SOURCEs are evalled before any symbols are
bound (i.e. "in parallel").

If `varlist` only contains one (`pattern` `source`) element, you can
optionally specify it using a vector and discarding the
outer-most parens.  Thus

    (-let ((`pattern` `source`)) ...)

becomes

    (-let [`pattern` `source`] ...).

[`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body) uses a convention of not binding places (symbols) starting
with _ whenever it's possible.  You can use this to skip over
entries you don't care about.  However, this is not *always*
possible (as a result of implementation) and these symbols might
get bound to undefined values.

Following is the overview of supported patterns.  Remember that
patterns can be matched recursively, so every a, b, aK in the
following can be a matching construct and not necessarily a
symbol/variable.

Symbol:

    a - bind the `source` to `a`.  This is just like regular `let`.

Conses and lists:

    (a) - bind `car` of cons/list to `a`

    (a . b) - bind car of cons to `a` and `cdr` to `b`

    (a b) - bind car of list to `a` and `cadr` to `b`

    (a1 a2 a3 ...) - bind 0th car of list to `a1`, 1st to `a2`, 2nd to `a3`...

    (a1 a2 a3 ... aN . rest) - as above, but bind the `n`th cdr to `rest`.

Vectors:

    [a] - bind 0th element of a non-list sequence to `a` (works with
          vectors, strings, bit arrays...)

    [a1 a2 a3 ...] - bind 0th element of non-list sequence to `a0`, 1st to
                     `a1`, 2nd to `a2`, ...
                     If the `pattern` is shorter than `source`, the values at
                     places not in `pattern` are ignored.
                     If the `pattern` is longer than `source`, an `error` is
                     thrown.

    [a1 a2 a3 ... &rest rest] - as above, but bind the rest of
                                the sequence to `rest`.  This is
                                conceptually the same as improper list
                                matching (a1 a2 ... aN . rest)

Key/value stores:

    (&plist key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
                                   `source` plist to aK.  If the
                                   value is not found, aK is `nil`.
                                   Uses `plist-get` to fetch values.

    (&alist key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
                                   `source` alist to aK.  If the
                                   value is not found, aK is `nil`.
                                   Uses `assoc` to fetch values.

    (&hash key0 a0 ... keyN aN) - bind value mapped by keyK in the
                                  `source` hash table to aK.  If the
                                  value is not found, aK is `nil`.
                                  Uses `gethash` to fetch values.

Further, special keyword &keys supports "inline" matching of
plist-like key-value pairs, similarly to &keys keyword of
`cl-defun`.

    (a1 a2 ... aN &keys key1 b1 ... keyN bK)

This binds `n` values from the list to a1 ... aN, then interprets
the cdr as a plist (see key/value matching above).

`a` shorthand notation for kv-destructuring exists which allows the
patterns be optionally left out and derived from the key name in
the following fashion:

- a key :foo is converted into `foo` pattern,
- a key 'bar is converted into `bar` pattern,
- a key "baz" is converted into `baz` pattern.

That is, the entire value under the key is bound to the derived
variable without any further destructuring.

This is possible only when the form following the key is not a
valid pattern (i.e. not a symbol, a cons cell or a vector).
Otherwise the matching proceeds as usual and in case of an
invalid spec fails with an error.

Thus the patterns are normalized as follows:

     ;; derive all the missing patterns
     (&plist :foo 'bar "baz") => (&plist :foo foo 'bar bar "baz" baz)

     ;; we can specify some but not others
     (&plist :foo 'bar explicit-bar) => (&plist :foo foo 'bar explicit-bar)

     ;; nothing happens, we store :foo in x
     (&plist :foo x) => (&plist :foo x)

     ;; nothing happens, we match recursively
     (&plist :foo (a b c)) => (&plist :foo (a b c))

You can name the source using the syntax `symbol` &as `pattern`.
This syntax works with lists (proper or improper), vectors and
all types of maps.

    (list &as a b c) (list 1 2 3)

binds `a` to 1, `b` to 2, `c` to 3 and `list` to (1 2 3).

Similarly:

    (bounds &as beg . end) (cons 1 2)

binds `beg` to 1, `end` to 2 and `bounds` to (1 . 2).

    (items &as first . rest) (list 1 2 3)

binds `first` to 1, `rest` to (2 3) and `items` to (1 2 3)

    [vect &as _ b c] [1 2 3]

binds `b` to 2, `c` to 3 and `vect` to [1 2 3] (_ avoids binding as usual).

    (plist &as &plist :b b) (list :a 1 :b 2 :c 3)

binds `b` to 2 and `plist` to (:a 1 :b 2 :c 3).  Same for &alist and &hash.

This is especially useful when we want to capture the result of a
computation and destructure at the same time.  Consider the
form (function-returning-complex-structure) returning a list of
two vectors with two items each.  We want to capture this entire
result and pass it to another computation, but at the same time
we want to get the second item from each vector.  We can achieve
it with pattern

    (result &as [_ a] [_ b]) (function-returning-complex-structure)

Note: Clojure programmers may know this feature as the ":as
binding".  The difference is that we put the &as at the front
because we need to support improper list binding.

```el
(-let (([a (b c) d] [1 (2 3) 4])) (list a b c d)) ;; => (1 2 3 4)
(-let [(a b c . d) (list 1 2 3 4 5 6)] (list a b c d)) ;; => (1 2 3 (4 5 6))
(-let [(&plist :foo foo :bar bar) (list :baz 3 :foo 1 :qux 4 :bar 2)] (list foo bar)) ;; => (1 2)
```

#### -let* `(varlist &rest body)`

Bind variables according to `varlist` then eval `body`.

`varlist` is a list of lists of the form (`pattern` `source`).  Each
`pattern` is matched against the `source` structurally.  `source` is
only evaluated once for each `pattern`.

Each `source` can refer to the symbols already bound by this
`varlist`.  This is useful if you want to destructure `source`
recursively but also want to name the intermediate structures.

See [`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body) for the list of all possible patterns.

```el
(-let* (((a . b) (cons 1 2)) ((c . d) (cons 3 4))) (list a b c d)) ;; => (1 2 3 4)
(-let* (((a . b) (cons 1 (cons 2 3))) ((c . d) b)) (list a b c d)) ;; => (1 (2 . 3) 2 3)
(-let* (((&alist "foo" foo "bar" bar) (list (cons "foo" 1) (cons "bar" (list 'a 'b 'c)))) ((a b c) bar)) (list foo a b c bar)) ;; => (1 a b c (a b c))
```

#### -lambda `(match-form &rest body)`

Return a lambda which destructures its input as `match-form` and executes `body`.

Note that you have to enclose the `match-form` in a pair of parens,
such that:

    (-lambda (x) body)
    (-lambda (x y ...) body)

has the usual semantics of `lambda`.  Furthermore, these get
translated into normal `lambda`, so there is no performance
penalty.

See [`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body) for a description of the destructuring mechanism.

```el
(-map (-lambda ((x y)) (+ x y)) '((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))) ;; => (3 7 11)
(-map (-lambda ([x y]) (+ x y)) '([1 2] [3 4] [5 6])) ;; => (3 7 11)
(funcall (-lambda ((_ . a) (_ . b)) (-concat a b)) '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ;; => (2 3 5 6)
```

#### -setq `([match-form val] ...)`

Bind each `match-form` to the value of its `val`.

`match-form` destructuring is done according to the rules of [`-let`](#-let-varlist-rest-body).

This macro allows you to bind multiple variables by destructuring
the value, so for example:

    (-setq (a b) x
           (&plist :c c) plist)

expands roughly speaking to the following code

    (setq a (car x)
          b (cadr x)
          c (plist-get plist :c))

Care is taken to only evaluate each `val` once so that in case of
multiple assignments it does not cause unexpected side effects.

```el
(let (a) (-setq a 1) a) ;; => 1
(let (a b) (-setq (a b) (list 1 2)) (list a b)) ;; => (1 2)
(let (c) (-setq (&plist :c c) (list :c "c")) c) ;; => "c"
```

## Side effects

Functions iterating over lists for side effect only.

#### -each `(list fn)`

Call `fn` on each element of `list`.
Return `nil`; this function is intended for side effects.

Its anaphoric counterpart is `--each`.

For access to the current element's index in `list`, see
[`-each-indexed`](#-each-indexed-list-fn).

```el
(let (l) (-each '(1 2 3) (lambda (x) (push x l))) l) ;; => (3 2 1)
(let (l) (--each '(1 2 3) (push it l)) l) ;; => (3 2 1)
(-each '(1 2 3) #'identity) ;; => nil
```

#### -each-while `(list pred fn)`

Call `fn` on each `item` in `list`, while (`pred` `item`) is non-`nil`.
Once an `item` is reached for which `pred` returns `nil`, `fn` is no
longer called.  Return `nil`; this function is intended for side
effects.

Its anaphoric counterpart is `--each-while`.

```el
(let (l) (-each-while '(2 4 5 6) #'even? (lambda (x) (push x l))) l) ;; => (4 2)
(let (l) (--each-while '(1 2 3 4) (< it 3) (push it l)) l) ;; => (2 1)
(let ((s 0)) (--each-while '(1 3 4 5) (< it 5) (setq s (+ s it))) s) ;; => 8
```

#### -each-indexed `(list fn)`

Call `fn` on each index and element of `list`.
For each `item` at `index` in `list`, call (funcall `fn` `index` `item`).
Return `nil`; this function is intended for side effects.

See also: [`-map-indexed`](#-map-indexed-fn-list).

```el
(let (l) (-each-indexed '(a b c) (lambda (i x) (push (list x i) l))) l) ;; => ((c 2) (b 1) (a 0))
(let (l) (--each-indexed '(a b c) (push (list it it-index) l)) l) ;; => ((c 2) (b 1) (a 0))
(let (l) (--each-indexed () (push it l)) l) ;; => ()
```

#### -each-r `(list fn)`

Call `fn` on each element of `list` in reversed order.
Return `nil`; this function is intended for side effects.

Its anaphoric counterpart is `--each-r`.

```el
(let (l) (-each-r '(1 2 3) (lambda (x) (push x l))) l) ;; => (1 2 3)
(let (l) (--each-r '(1 2 3) (push it l)) l) ;; => (1 2 3)
(-each-r '(1 2 3) #'identity) ;; => nil
```

#### -each-r-while `(list pred fn)`

Call `fn` on each `item` in reversed `list`, while (`pred` `item`) is non-`nil`.
Once an `item` is reached for which `pred` returns `nil`, `fn` is no
longer called.  Return `nil`; this function is intended for side
effects.

Its anaphoric counterpart is `--each-r-while`.

```el
(let (l) (-each-r-while '(2 4 5 6) #'even? (lambda (x) (push x l))) l) ;; => (6)
(let (l) (--each-r-while '(1 2 3 4) (>= it 3) (push it l)) l) ;; => (3 4)
(let ((s 0)) (--each-r-while '(1 2 3 5) (> it 1) (setq s (+ s it))) s) ;; => 10
```

#### -dotimes `(num fn)`

Call `fn` `num` times, presumably for side effects.
`fn` is called with a single argument on successive integers
running from 0, inclusive, to `num`, exclusive.  `fn` is not called
if `num` is less than 1.

This function's anaphoric counterpart is `--dotimes`.

```el
(let (s) (-dotimes 3 (lambda (n) (push n s))) s) ;; => (2 1 0)
(let (s) (-dotimes 0 (lambda (n) (push n s))) s) ;; => ()
(let (s) (--dotimes 5 (push it s)) s) ;; => (4 3 2 1 0)
```

## Destructive operations

Macros that modify variables holding lists.

#### !cons `(car cdr)`

Destructive: Set `cdr` to the cons of `car` and `cdr`.

```el
(let (l) (!cons 5 l) l) ;; => (5)
(let ((l '(3))) (!cons 5 l) l) ;; => (5 3)
```

#### !cdr `(list)`

Destructive: Set `list` to the cdr of `list`.

```el
(let ((l '(3))) (!cdr l) l) ;; => ()
(let ((l '(3 5))) (!cdr l) l) ;; => (5)
```

## Function combinators

Functions that manipulate and compose other functions.

#### -partial `(fun &rest args)`

Return a function that is a partial application of `fun` to `args`.
`args` is a list of the first `n` arguments to pass to `fun`.
The result is a new function which does the same as `fun`, except that
the first `n` arguments are fixed at the values with which this function
was called.

```el
(funcall (-partial #'+ 5)) ;; => 5
(funcall (-partial #'- 5) 3) ;; => 2
(funcall (-partial #'+ 5 2) 3) ;; => 10
```

#### -rpartial `(fn &rest args)`

Return a function that is a partial application of `fn` to `args`.
`args` is a list of the last `n` arguments to pass to `fn`.  The result
is a new function which does the same as `fn`, except that the last
`n` arguments are fixed at the values with which this function was
called.  This is like [`-partial`](#-partial-fun-rest-args), except the arguments are fixed
starting from the right rather than the left.

```el
(funcall (-rpartial #'- 5)) ;; => -5
(funcall (-rpartial #'- 5) 8) ;; => 3
(funcall (-rpartial #'- 5 2) 10) ;; => 3
```

#### -juxt `(&rest fns)`

Return a function that is the juxtaposition of `fns`.
The returned function takes a variable number of `args`, applies
each of `fns` in turn to `args`, and returns the list of results.

```el
(funcall (-juxt) 1 2) ;; => ()
(funcall (-juxt #'+ #'- #'* #'/) 7 5) ;; => (12 2 35 1)
(mapcar (-juxt #'number-to-string #'1+) '(1 2)) ;; => (("1" 2) ("2" 3))
```

#### -compose `(&rest fns)`

Compose `fns` into a single composite function.
Return a function that takes a variable number of `args`, applies
the last function in `fns` to `args`, and returns the result of
calling each remaining function on the result of the previous
function, right-to-left.  If no `fns` are given, return a variadic
`identity` function.

```el
(funcall (-compose #'- #'1+ #'+) 1 2 3) ;; => -7
(funcall (-compose #'identity #'1+) 3) ;; => 4
(mapcar (-compose #'not #'stringp) '(nil "")) ;; => (t nil)
```

#### -applify `(fn)`

Return a function that applies `fn` to a single list of args.
This changes the arity of `fn` from taking `n` distinct arguments to
taking 1 argument which is a list of `n` arguments.

```el
(funcall (-applify #'+) nil) ;; => 0
(mapcar (-applify #'+) '((1 1 1) (1 2 3) (5 5 5))) ;; => (3 6 15)
(funcall (-applify #'<) '(3 6)) ;; => t
```

#### -on `(op trans)`

Return a function that calls `trans` on each arg and `op` on the results.
The returned function takes a variable number of arguments, calls
the function `trans` on each one in turn, and then passes those
results as the list of arguments to `op`, in the same order.

For example, the following pairs of expressions are morally
equivalent:

    (funcall (-on #'+ #'1+) 1 2 3) = (+ (1+ 1) (1+ 2) (1+ 3))
    (funcall (-on #'+ #'1+))       = (+)

```el
(-sort (-on #'< #'length) '((1 2 3) (1) (1 2))) ;; => ((1) (1 2) (1 2 3))
(funcall (-on #'min #'string-to-number) "22" "2" "1" "12") ;; => 1
(-min-by (-on #'> #'length) '((1 2 3) (4) (1 2))) ;; => (4)
```

#### -flip `(fn)`

Return a function that calls `fn` with its arguments reversed.
The returned function takes the same number of arguments as `fn`.

For example, the following two expressions are morally
equivalent:

    (funcall (-flip #'-) 1 2) = (- 2 1)

See also: [`-rotate-args`](#-rotate-args-n-fn).

```el
(-sort (-flip #'<) '(4 3 6 1)) ;; => (6 4 3 1)
(funcall (-flip #'-) 3 2 1 10) ;; => 4
(funcall (-flip #'1+) 1) ;; => 2
```

#### -rotate-args `(n fn)`

Return a function that calls `fn` with args rotated `n` places to the right.
The returned function takes the same number of arguments as `fn`,
rotates the list of arguments `n` places to the right (left if `n` is
negative) just like [`-rotate`](#-rotate-n-list), and applies `fn` to the result.

See also: [`-flip`](#-flip-fn).

```el
(funcall (-rotate-args -1 #'list) 1 2 3 4) ;; => (2 3 4 1)
(funcall (-rotate-args 1 #'-) 1 10 100) ;; => 89
(funcall (-rotate-args 2 #'list) 3 4 5 1 2) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5)
```

#### -const `(c)`

Return a function that returns `c` ignoring any additional arguments.

In types: a -> b -> a

```el
(funcall (-const 2) 1 3 "foo") ;; => 2
(mapcar (-const 1) '("a" "b" "c" "d")) ;; => (1 1 1 1)
(-sum (mapcar (-const 1) '("a" "b" "c" "d"))) ;; => 4
```

#### -cut `(&rest params)`

Take n-ary function and n arguments and specialize some of them.
Arguments denoted by <> will be left unspecialized.

See `srfi-26` for detailed description.

```el
(funcall (-cut list 1 <> 3 <> 5) 2 4) ;; => (1 2 3 4 5)
(-map (-cut funcall <> 5) `(1+ 1- ,(lambda (x) (/ 1.0 x)))) ;; => (6 4 0.2)
(-map (-cut <> 1 2 3) '(list vector string)) ;; => ((1 2 3) [1 2 3] "\1\2\3")
```

#### -not `(pred)`

Return a predicate that negates the result of `pred`.
The returned predicate passes its arguments to `pred`.  If `pred`
returns `nil`, the result is non-`nil`; otherwise the result is `nil`.

See also: [`-andfn`](#-andfn-rest-preds) and [`-orfn`](#-orfn-rest-preds).

```el
(funcall (-not #'numberp) "5") ;; => t
(-sort (-not #'<) '(5 2 1 0 6)) ;; => (6 5 2 1 0)
(-filter (-not (-partial #'< 4)) '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)) ;; => (1 2 3 4)
```

#### -orfn `(&rest preds)`

Return a predicate that returns the first non-`nil` result of `preds`.
The returned predicate takes a variable number of arguments,
passes them to each predicate in `preds` in turn until one of them
returns non-`nil`, and returns that non-`nil` result without calling
the remaining `preds`.  If all `preds` return `nil`, or if no `preds` are
given, the returned predicate returns `nil`.

See also: [`-andfn`](#-andfn-rest-preds) and [`-not`](#-not-pred).

```el
(-filter (-orfn #'natnump #'booleanp) '(1 nil "a" -4 b c t)) ;; => (1 nil t)
(funcall (-orfn #'symbolp (-cut string-match-p "x" <>)) "axe") ;; => 1
(funcall (-orfn #'= #'+) 1 1) ;; => t
```

#### -andfn `(&rest preds)`

Return a predicate that returns non-`nil` if all `preds` do so.
The returned predicate `p` takes a variable number of arguments and
passes them to each predicate in `preds` in turn.  If any one of
`preds` returns `nil`, `p` also returns `nil` without calling the
remaining `preds`.  If all `preds` return non-`nil`, `p` returns the last
such value.  If no `preds` are given, `p` always returns non-`nil`.

See also: [`-orfn`](#-orfn-rest-preds) and [`-not`](#-not-pred).

```el
(-filter (-andfn #'numberp (-cut < <> 5)) '(a 1 b 6 c 2)) ;; => (1 2)
(mapcar (-andfn #'numberp #'1+) '(a 1 b 6)) ;; => (nil 2 nil 7)
(funcall (-andfn #'= #'+) 1 1) ;; => 2
```

#### -iteratefn `(fn n)`

Return a function `fn` composed `n` times with itself.

`fn` is a unary function.  If you need to use a function of higher
arity, use [`-applify`](#-applify-fn) first to turn it into a unary function.

With n = 0, this acts as identity function.

In types: (a -> a) -> Int -> a -> a.

This function satisfies the following law:

    (funcall (-iteratefn fn n) init) = (-last-item (-iterate fn init (1+ n))).

```el
(funcall (-iteratefn (lambda (x) (* x x)) 3) 2) ;; => 256
(funcall (-iteratefn '1+ 3) 1) ;; => 4
(funcall (-iteratefn 'cdr 3) '(1 2 3 4 5)) ;; => (4 5)
```

#### -fixfn `(fn &optional equal-test halt-test)`

Return a function that computes the (least) fixpoint of `fn`.

`fn` must be a unary function. The returned lambda takes a single
argument, `x`, the initial value for the fixpoint iteration. The
iteration halts when either of the following conditions is satisfied:

 1. Iteration converges to the fixpoint, with equality being
      tested using `equal-test`. If `equal-test` is not specified,
      `equal` is used. For functions over the floating point
      numbers, it may be necessary to provide an appropriate
      approximate comparison test.

 2. `halt-test` returns a non-`nil` value. `halt-test` defaults to a
      simple counter that returns `t` after `-fixfn-max-iterations`,
      to guard against infinite iteration. Otherwise, `halt-test`
      must be a function that accepts a single argument, the
      current value of `x`, and returns non-`nil` as long as iteration
      should continue. In this way, a more sophisticated
      convergence test may be supplied by the caller.

The return value of the lambda is either the fixpoint or, if
iteration halted before converging, a cons with car `halted` and
cdr the final output from `halt-test`.

In types: (a -> a) -> a -> a.

```el
(funcall (-fixfn #'cos #'approx=) 0.7) ;; ~> 0.7390851332151607
(funcall (-fixfn (lambda (x) (expt (+ x 10) 0.25))) 2.0) ;; => 1.8555845286409378
(funcall (-fixfn #'sin #'approx=) 0.1) ;; => (halted . t)
```

#### -prodfn `(&rest fns)`

Return a function that applies each of `fns` to each of a list of arguments.

Takes a list of `n` functions and returns a function that takes a
list of length `n`, applying `i`th function to `i`th element of the
input list.  Returns a list of length `n`.

In types (for `n`=2): ((a -> b), (c -> d)) -> (a, c) -> (b, d)

This function satisfies the following laws:

      (-compose (-prodfn f g ...)
                (-prodfn f' g' ...))
    = (-prodfn (-compose f f')
               (-compose g g')
               ...)

      (-prodfn f g ...)
    = (-juxt (-compose f (-partial #'nth 0))
             (-compose g (-partial #'nth 1))
             ...)

      (-compose (-prodfn f g ...)
                (-juxt f' g' ...))
    = (-juxt (-compose f f')
             (-compose g g')
             ...)

      (-compose (-partial #'nth n)
                (-prod f1 f2 ...))
    = (-compose fn (-partial #'nth n))

```el
(funcall (-prodfn '1+ '1- 'number-to-string) '(1 2 3)) ;; => (2 1 "3")
(-map (-prodfn '1+ '1-) '((1 2) (3 4) (5 6) (7 8))) ;; => ((2 1) (4 3) (6 5) (8 7))
(apply '+ (funcall (-prodfn 'length 'string-to-number) '((1 2 3) "15"))) ;; => 18
```

## Contribute

Yes, please do.  Pure functions in the list manipulation realm only,
please.  There's a suite of examples/tests in `dev/examples.el`, so
remember to add tests for your additions, or I might break them later.

You'll find the repo at:

    https://github.com/magnars/dash.el

Run the tests with:

    make check

Regenerate the docs with:

    make docs

I highly recommend that you install these as a pre-commit hook, so
that the tests are always running and the docs are always in sync:

    cp dev/pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit

Oh, and don't edit `README.md` or `dash.texi` directly; they are
auto-generated.  Change `readme-template.md` or `dash-template.texi`
instead, respectively.
