partition package:base

The partition function takes a predicate and a list, and returns the pair of lists of elements which do and do not satisfy the predicate, respectively; i.e.,

partition p xs == (filter p xs, filter (not . p) xs)

Examples

>>> partition (`elem` "aeiou") "Hello World!"
("eoo","Hll Wrld!")

>>> partition even [1..10]
([2,4,6,8,10],[1,3,5,7,9])

>>> partition (< 5) [1..10]
([1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8,9,10])

The partition function takes a predicate p and a stream xs, and returns a pair of lists. The first list corresponds to the elements of xs for which p holds; the second corresponds to the elements of xs for which p does not hold.

'partition' p xs = ('filter' p xs, 'filter' (not . p) xs)

Partitions a list of Either into two lists. All the Left elements are extracted, in order, to the first component of the output. Similarly the Right elements are extracted to the second component of the output.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> let list = [ Left "foo", Right 3, Left "bar", Right 7, Left "baz" ]

>>> partitionEithers list
(["foo","bar","baz"],[3,7])

The pair returned by partitionEithers x should be the same pair as (lefts x, rights x):

>>> let list = [ Left "foo", Right 3, Left "bar", Right 7, Left "baz" ]

>>> partitionEithers list == (lefts list, rights list)
True
