:: Ord a => [a] -> [a] package:Cabal

The sort function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of sortBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function. Elements are arranged from from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input.

>>> sort [1,6,4,3,2,5]
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

Like nub, but has O(n log n) complexity instead of O(n^2). Code for ordNub and listUnion taken from Niklas Hambüchen's ordnub package.

A right-biased version of ordNub. Example:

>>> ordNub [1,2,1] :: [Int]
[1,2]

>>> ordNubRight [1,2,1] :: [Int]
[2,1]

reverse xs returns the elements of xs in reverse order. xs must be finite.

cycle ties a finite list into a circular one, or equivalently, the infinite repetition of the original list. It is the identity on infinite lists.

Return all the elements of a list except the last one. The list must be non-empty.

Extract the elements after the head of a list, which must be non-empty.

A total variant of tail.
