Range extraction
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A format for expressing an ordered list of integers is to use a comma separated list of either
- individual integers
- Or a range of integers denoted by the starting integer separated from the end integer in the range by a dash, '-'. (The range includes all integers in the interval including both endpoints)
- The range syntax is to be used only for, and for every range that expands to more than two values.
Example
The list of integers:
- -6, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20
Is accurately expressed by the range expression:
- -6,-3-1,3-5,7-11,14,15,17-20
(And vice-versa).
The task
- Create a function that takes a list of integers in increasing order and returns a correctly formatted string in the range format.
- Use the function to compute and print the range formatted version of the following ordered list of integers:
0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39
- Show the output of your program.
C.f. Range expansion
Ada
The provided solutions return an empty string, if the Sequence of integers is empty. Ranges with negative bounds are represented as -9--4, as the task requires. For real-life applications it is better to use the notation -9..-4.
Iterative Solution
Since we don't know in advance how long the output will be, the iterative solution uses Unbounded_Strings.
<lang Ada>with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded; with Ada.Strings.Fixed; use Ada.Strings.Fixed;
procedure Range_Extraction is
type Sequence is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
function Image (S : Sequence) return String is
Result : Unbounded_String;
From : Integer;
procedure Flush (To : Integer) is
begin
if Length (Result) > 0 then
Append (Result, ',');
end if;
Append (Result, Trim (Integer'Image (From), Ada.Strings.Left));
if From < To then
if From+1 = To then
Append (Result, ',');
else
Append (Result, '-');
end if;
Append (Result, Trim (Integer'Image (To), Ada.Strings.Left));
end if;
end Flush;
begin
if S'Length > 0 then
From := S (S'First);
for I in S'First + 1..S'Last loop
if S (I - 1) + 1 /= S (I) then
Flush (S (I - 1));
From := S (I);
end if;
end loop;
Flush (S (S'Last));
end if;
return To_String (Result);
end Image;
begin
Put_Line
( Image
( ( 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36,
37, 38, 39
) ) );
end Range_Extraction;</lang>
Recursive Solution
The recursive solution avoids the usage of unbounded strings.
<lang Ada>with Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Strings.Fixed;
procedure Range_Extract is
type Sequence is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
function Img(I: Integer) return String is -- the image of an Integer
begin
return
Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim(Integer'Image(I), Ada.Strings.Left);
end Img;
function Img(S: Sequence) return String is -- the image of a Sequence
function X(S : Sequence) return String is -- recursive eXtract
Idx: Positive := S'First;
begin
if S'Length = 0 then return
""; -- return nothing if Sequence is empty
else
while Idx < S'Last and then S(Idx+1) = S(Idx) + 1 loop
Idx := Idx + 1;
end loop;
if Idx = S'First then return
"," & Img(S(Idx)) & X(S(Idx+1 .. S'Last));
elsif Idx = S'First+1 then return
"," & Img(S(S'First)) & ',' & Img(S(Idx)) & X(S(Idx+1 .. S'Last));
else return
"," & Img(S(S'First)) & '-' & Img(S(Idx)) & X(S(Idx+1 .. S'Last));
end if;
end if;
end X;
begin -- function Img(S: Sequence) return String
if S'Length = 0 then return
"";
else return
Img(S(S'First)) & X(S(S'First+1 .. S'Last));
end if;
end Img;
begin -- main
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Img( ( 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29,
30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39) ));
end Range_Extract;</lang>

Note: The following Iterative code specimen is the "unrolled" version of the Generative code specimen below. Together they provided as a comparison of the two different methods.
Iterative
- The closest concept that Algol 68 has to duck typing is the tagged union. This is used to define mode urange = union(int, struct(int lwb, upb)). If duck typing was available it could reduced the size of the code specimen, but would have lost some of Algol 68's strong type data security.

Generative
- The following code a set of helper functions/generators that can be used to manipulate a lists of ranges. They can manipulate either arrays or iterator. And they can handle data of type int or range and both these types unioned.
These chained iterators do the following steps:
- Iterate through three different types of initial arrays - []int, []range and []unirange with gen range, yielding range(lwb,upb)
- Iterate with gen range merge yielding merged range(lwb,upb)
- Iterate with gen unirange merge, merging and yielding a union of int and range
- Finally iterate with unirange list init exiting with an array of union of int and range.

Using the fine tradition of snprintf, rprint is not responsible for allocating output buffer. It prints the range only if supplied a non-null pointer, but always returns the output length sans the terminating null, so caller can allocate buffer.

size_t rprint(char *s, int *x, int len) {

if (i + 1 < j) a += snprintf(s?a:s, ol, "%s%d-%d", sep, x[i], x[j]); else while (i <= j) a += snprintf(s?a:s, ol, "%s%d", sep, x[i++]); } return a - s;

Prolog
Works with SWI-Prolog and library clpfd.
The code uses three predicates extract_Range/2, study_Range/2 and pack_Range/2.
Every predicate works in both directions arg1 towards arg2 and arg2 towards arg1, so that Range extraction and Range expansion work with the same predicates but in reverse order.

The REXX version is the same as above, but doesn't modify a DO loop's index (j). <lang>/*REXX program creates a range extraction from a list of integers. */ old=0 1 2 4 6 7 8 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 35 36 37 38 39 w=words(old); j=0 /*number of integers in the list.*/ new= /*new list (maybe with ranges). */

new=new',' x /*append Jth number to new list.*/
inc=1; g= /*start with an increment of one.*/
do k=j+1 to w; y=word(old,k) /*get the Kth number in the list.*/
if y\=x+inc then leave /*is this number ¬> prev by inc ?*/
inc=inc+1; g=y /*increase range, assign g (good)*/
end /*k*/
if k-1=j | g=x+1 then iterate /*range= 0|1? Then keep truckin'*/
new=new'-'g /*indicate a range of numbers. */

end /*while*/
new=space(substr(new, 2), 0) /*elide leading comma, all blanks*/ say 'old:' old /*show the old range of numbers. */ say 'new:' new /*display new list of numbers. */
/*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/</lang>
output is the same as above.
