@title[#:tag "pairs"]{Pairs and Lists}

@guideintro["pairs"]{pairs and lists}

A @deftech{pair} combines exactly two values. The first value is
accessed with the @scheme[car] procedure, and the second value is
accessed with the @scheme[cdr] procedure. Pairs are not mutable (but
see @secref["mpairs"]).

A @deftech{list} is recursively defined: it is either the constant
@scheme[null], or it is a pair whose second value is a list.

A list can be used as a single-valued sequence (see
@secref["sequences"]). The elements of the list serve as elements
of the sequence. See also @scheme[in-list].

Cyclic data structures can be created using only immutable pairs via
@scheme[read] or @scheme[make-reader-graph]. If starting with a pair
and using some number of @scheme[cdr]s returns to the starting pair,
then the pair is not a list.

         list?]{

Applies @scheme[proc] to the elements of the @scheme[lst]s from the
 first elements to the last. The @scheme[proc] argument must accept
 the same number of arguments as the number of supplied @scheme[lst]s,
 and all @scheme[lst]s must have the same number of elements.  The
 result is a list containing each result of @scheme[proc] in order.

 @item{the result is that of @scheme[proc] applied to the last elements

Similar to @scheme[map], but @scheme[proc] is called only for its
 effect, and its result (which can be any number of values) is
 ignored.

]}


@defproc[(foldl [proc procedure?] [init any/c] [lst list?] ...+)
         any/c]{

Like @scheme[map], @scheme[foldl] applies a procedure to the
 elements of one or more lists. Whereas @scheme[map] combines the return
 values into a list, @scheme[foldl] combines the return values in an
 arbitrary way that is determined by @scheme[proc].  

If @scheme[foldl] is called with @math{n} lists, then @scheme[proc]
 must take @math{n+1} arguments. The extra argument is the combined
 return values so far. The @scheme[proc] is initially invoked with the
 first item of each list, and the final argument is @scheme[init].  In
 subsequent invocations of @scheme[proc], the last argument is the
 return value from the previous invocation of @scheme[proc]. The input
 @scheme[lst]s are traversed from left to right, and the result of the
 whole @scheme[foldl] application is the result of the last
 application of @scheme[proc]. If the @scheme[lst]s are empty, the
 result is @scheme[init].

Unlike @scheme[foldr], @scheme[foldl] processes the @scheme[lst]s in
 constant space (plus the space for each call to @scheme[proc]).

@mz-examples[
(foldl cons '() '(1 2 3 4))
(foldl + 0 '(1 2 3 4))

@defproc[(foldr [proc procedure?] [init any/c] [lst list?] ...+)
         any/c]{

Like @scheme[foldl], but the lists are traversed from right to left.
 Unlike @scheme[foldl], @scheme[foldr] processes the @scheme[lst]s in
 space proportional to the length of @scheme[lst]s (plus the space for
 each call to @scheme[proc]).

@section{List Filtering}

@defproc[(filter [pred procedure?] [lst list?])

Returns a list with the elements of @scheme[lst] for which
 @scheme[pred] produces a true value. The @scheme[pred] procedure is
 applied to each element from first to last.

@mz-examples[
(filter positive? '(1 -2 3 4 -5))

@defproc[(remove [v any/c] [lst list?] [proc procedure? equal?])
         list?]{

Returns a list that is like @scheme[lst], omitting the first element

 procedure @scheme[proc] (which must accept two arguments).

(remove 2 (list 1 2 3 2 4))

every element of @scheme[v-lst].

@defproc[(sort [lst list?] [less-than? (any/c any/c . -> . any/c)]
               [#:key extract-key (any/c . -> . any/c) (lambda (x) x)]
               [#:cache-keys? cache-keys? boolean? #f])
         list?]{

Returns a list sorted according to the @scheme[less-than?] procedure,
 which takes two elements of @scheme[lst] and returns a true value if
 the first is less (i.e., should be sorted earlier) than the
 second.

The sort is stable; if two elements of @scheme[lst] are ``equal''
 (i.e., @scheme[proc] does not return a true value when given the pair
 in either order), then the elements preserve their relative order
 from @scheme[lst] in the output list.  To preserve this guarantee,
 use @scheme[sort] with a strict comparison functions (e.g.,
 @scheme[<] or @scheme[string<?]; not @scheme[<=] or
 @scheme[string<=?]).

The @scheme[#:key] argument @scheme[extract-key] is used to extract a
 key value for comparison from each list element.  That is, the full
 comparison procedure is essentially

@schemeblock[
  (lambda (x y)
    (less-than? (extract-key x) (extract-key y)))
]

By default, @scheme[extract-key] is applied to two list elements for
 every comparison, but if @scheme[cache-keys?] is true, then the
 @scheme[extract-key] function is used exactly once for each list
 item. Supply a true value for @scheme[cache-keys?] when
 @scheme[extract-key] is an expensive operation; for example, if
 @scheme[file-or-directory-modify-seconds] is used to extract a
 timestamp for every file in a list, then @scheme[cache-keys?] should
 be @scheme[#t] to minimize file-system calls, but if
 @scheme[extract-key] is @scheme[car], then @scheme[cache-keys?]
 should be @scheme[#f].  As another example, providing
 @scheme[extract-key] as @scheme[(lambda (x) (random))] and
 @scheme[#t] for @scheme[cache-keys?] effectively shuffles the list.}

           [(append* [lst list?] ... [lsts list?]) any/c])]{
@; Note: this is exactly the same description as the one for string-append*

Like @scheme[append], but the last argument is used as a list of
arguments for @scheme[append], so @scheme[(append* lst ... lsts)] is the
same as @scheme[(apply append lst ... lsts)].  In other words, the
relationship between @scheme[append] and @scheme[append*] is similar
to the one between @scheme[list] and @scheme[list*].

@defproc[(flatten [v any/c])

Flattens an arbitrary S-expression structure of pairs into a
list. More precisely, @scheme[v] is treated as a binary tree where
pairs are interior nodes, and the resulting list contains all of the
non-@scheme[null] leaves of the tree in the same order as an inorder
traversal.

         list?]{

Returns a list that has all items in @scheme[lst], but without
duplicate items, where @scheme[same?] determines whether two elements
of the list are equivalent.  The resulting list is in the same order
as @scheme[lst], and for any item that occurs multiple times, the
first one is kept.

The @scheme[#:key] argument @scheme[extract-key] is used to extract a
 key value from each list element, so two items are considered equal if
 @scheme[(same? (extract-key x) (extract-key y))] is true.

@defproc[(partition [pred procedure?] [lst list?])
         (values list? list?)]{

Similar to @scheme[filter], except that two values are returned: the
items for which @scheme[pred] returns a true value, and the items for
which @scheme[pred] returns @scheme[#f].

The result is the same as

@schemeblock[(values (filter pred lst) (filter (negate pred) lst))]

@defproc[(filter-not [pred (any/c . -> . any/c)] [lst list?])
         list?]{

Like @scheme[filter], but the meaning of the @scheme[pred] predicate
is reversed: the result is a list of all items for which @scheme[pred]

@defproc[(shuffle [lst list?]) list?]{

]}


@defproc[(argmin [proc (-> any/c real?)] [lst (and/c pair? list?)]) any/c]{

Returns the first element in the list @scheme[lst] that minimizes
the result of @scheme[proc]. Signals an error on an empty list.

@mz-examples[#:eval list-eval
(argmin car '((3 pears) (1 banana) (2 apples)))
(argmin car '((1 banana) (1 orange)))

@defproc[(argmax [proc (-> any/c real?)] [lst (and/c pair? list?)]) any/c]{

@section{Immutable Cyclic Data}

@defproc[(make-reader-graph [v any/c]) any/c]{

Returns a value like @scheme[v], with placeholders created by
@scheme[make-placeholder] replaced with the values that they contain,
and with placeholders created by @scheme[make-hash-placeholder]
with an immutable hash table. No part of @scheme[v] is mutated;
instead, parts of @scheme[v] are copied as necessary to construct
the resulting graph, where at most one copy is created for any given
value.

Since the copied values can be immutable, and since the copy is also
immutable, @scheme[make-reader-graph] can create cycles involving only
immutable pairs, vectors, boxes, and hash tables.

Only the following kinds of values are copied and traversed to detect
placeholders:

@itemize[

 @item{pairs}

 @item{vectors, both mutable and immutable}

 @item{boxes, both mutable and immutable}

 @item{hash tables, both mutable and immutable}

 @item{instances of a @techlink{prefab} structure type}

 @item{placeholders created by @scheme[make-placeholder] and
       @scheme[make-hash-placeholder]}

]

Due to these restrictions, @scheme[make-reader-graph] creates exactly
the same sort of cyclic values as @scheme[read].

(let* ([ph (make-placeholder #f)]
       [x (cons 1 ph)])

@defproc[(make-placeholder [v any/c]) placeholder?]{

Returns a placeholder for use with @scheme[placeholder-set!]  and
@scheme[make-reader-graph]. The @scheme[v] argument supplies the
initial value for the placeholder.}

@defproc[(placeholder-set! [ph placeholder?] [datum any/c]) void?]{

Changes the value of @scheme[ph] to @scheme[v].}

@defproc[(placeholder-get [ph placeholder?]) any/c]{

Returns the value of @scheme[ph].}


@defproc[(hash-placeholder? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @scheme[#t] if @scheme[v] is a placeholder created by
@scheme[make-hash-placeholder], @scheme[#f] otherwise.}


@defproc[(make-hash-placeholder [assocs (listof pair?)])
