Follow the unique branch in which the new key could belong. At an equal key, keep the existing node so that duplicate insertion does not change the represented set:
insert :: Ord a => a -> STree a -> STree a
insert y Empty = Node Empty y Empty
insert y (Node left x right) =
case compare y x of
LT -> Node (insert y left) x right
EQ -> Node left x right
GT -> Node left x (insert y right)The Haskell Ord class supplies the three-way comparison. Each visited nonempty node costs one such comparison; rebuilding a node preserves all untouched subtrees. The inserted key satisfies every comparison along its search path, so it obeys both the local and ancestor binary search tree inequalities.
For height of a binary tree , the worst search costs when it reaches the bottom. With existing nodes, a chain can require comparisons, giving a worst case of . Under the standard random-insertion model, distinct keys arrive in a uniformly random order and the expected path length is . Thus the usual average-case answer is for growing , but this expectation needs the stated distribution: an arbitrary unbalanced binary search tree has no logarithmic guarantee.
All three Haskell definitions have A list comprehension gives Each version retains the input order and needs no equality or Haskell Ord class constraint on the element type.
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]. A recursive list filter isfilter p [] = []
filter p (x:xs)
| p x = x : filter p xs
| otherwise = filter p xsfilter p xs = [x | x <- xs, p x]. A right fold givesfilter p = foldr (\x ys -> if p x then x:ys else ys) []Use merge sort, then project the second component of each pair. Under the ordinary Haskell Ord class instance for pairs, “ascending” means lexicographic order, requiring both component types to be ordered:If the intended convention is to sort only by the first component as a sort key, replace
sort :: (Ord a, Ord b) => [(a,b)] -> [b]
sort = map snd . mergeSort
mergeSort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]
mergeSort [] = []
mergeSort [x] = [x]
mergeSort xs = merge (mergeSort left) (mergeSort right)
where (left,right) = splitAt (length xs `div` 2) xs
merge :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]
merge [] ys = ys
merge xs [] = xs
merge (x:xs) (y:ys)
| x <= y = x : merge xs (y:ys)
| otherwise = y : merge (x:xs) ysx <= y by fst x <= fst y and specialize the merge routines to pairs. The weaker signature is then sort :: Ord a => [(a,b)] -> [b], and equal keys keep their original order. These conventions differ when first components tie; the question does not explicitly specify that tie rule.type Weight = (Int,Int,Int)
weight :: Results -> Weight
weight (Results _ scores) =
(sum (map points scores),
sum [gf - ga | (gf,ga) <- scores],
sum (map fst scores))
where
points (gf,ga)
| gf > ga = 3
| gf == ga = 1
| otherwise = 0The components are total points, total goal difference and total goals scored. The Haskell Ord class compares tuples in lexicographic order, so a greater first component dominates all later components; only ties reach the next criterion. Exactly equal triples remain tied because no further ranking criterion was specified. In the supplied fixture data the descending triples are , , , , , and , respectively for United, Athletic, City, Albion, Rovers, Corinthians and Thistle.
The ordering operations used to decide the partitions require an
Ord a constraint. A function with parametric polymorphism and type [a] -> [a] cannot inspect arbitrary element values to decide which one is smaller; for example, functions themselves need not admit the comparison operations required by this sorting algorithm. A Haskell Ord class instance supplies the comparison method, with its ordering laws a separate semantic assumption.[ref]Haskell 2010 Language Report. Chapter 9, the Ord class and compare method
