Apply a callback to an array
In this task, the goal is to take a combined set of elements and apply a function to each element.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

C-Style Array
#include <iostream> //cout for printing
#include <algorithm> //for_each defined here
//create the function (print the square)
void print_square(int i) {
std::cout << i*i << " ";
}
int main() {
//create the array
int ary[]={1,2,3,4,5};
//stl for_each
std::for_each(ary,ary+5,print_square);

//prints 1 4 9 16 25

#include <iostream> //cout for printing
#include <algorithm> //for_each defined here
#include <vector> //stl vector class
//create the function (print the square)
void print_square(int i) {
std::cout << i*i << " ";

Clean
Define a function and an initial (unboxed) array.
square x = x * x
values :: {#Int}
values = {x \\ x <- [1 .. 10]}
One can easily define a map for arrays, which is overloaded and works for all kinds of arrays (lazy, strict, unboxed).
mapArray f array = {f x \\ x <-: array}
Apply the function to the initial array (using a comprehension) and print result.
Start :: {#Int}
Start = mapArray square values
Common Lisp
Imperative: print 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5:
(map nil #'print #(1 2 3 4 5))
Functional: collect squares into new vector that is returned:
(defun square (x) (* x x)) (map 'vector #'square #(1 2 3 4 5))
Destructive, like the Javascript example; add 1 to every slot of vector *a*:
(defvar *a* (vector 1 2 3)) (map-into *a* #'1+ *a*)
Clojure
;; apply a named function, inc (map inc [1 2 3 4])
;; apply a function (map (fn [x] (* x x)) [1 2 3 4])
;; shortcut syntax for a function (map #(* % %) [1 2 3 4])
D
<d>U[] map(T, U)(T[] array, U delegate(T) dg) {
auto result = new U[array.length];
foreach (index, element; array)
result[index] = dg(element);
return result;
}
void main() {
writefln(
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map( (int i) { return i+5; } )
);
}</d> Using std.algorithm: <d>writefln(map!("a + 5")([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]));</d>
E
def array := [1,2,3,4,5]
def square(value) {
return value * value
}
Example of builtin iteration:
def callback(index, value) {
println(`Item $index is $value.`)
}
array.iterate(callback)
There is no built-in map function yet. The following is one of the ways one could be implemented, returning a plain list (which is usually an array in implementation).
def map(func, collection) {
def output := [].diverge()
for item in collection {
output.push(func(item))
}
return output.snapshot()
}
println(map(square, array))
Forth
This is a word that will call a given function on each cell in an array.
: map ( addr n fn -- ) -rot cells bounds do i @ over execute i ! cell +loop ;
Example usage:
create data 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , data 5 ' 1+ map \ adds one to each element of data

Haskell
List
let square x = x*x let values = [1..10] map square values
Using list comprehension to generate a list of the squared values
[square x | x <- values]
Using function composition to create a function that will print the squares of a list
let printSquares = putStr.unlines.map (show.square) printSquares values
Array
import Data.Array.IArray let square x = x*x let values = array (1,10) [(i,i)|i <- [1..10]] :: Array Int Int amap square values
IDL
Hard to come up with an example that isn't completely contrived. IDL doesn't really distinguish between a scalar and an array; thus
b = a^3
will yield a scalar if a is scalar or a vector if a is a vector or an n-dimensional array if a is an n-dimensional array
Io
list(1,2,3,4,5) map(squared)

Java
As of the current version of Java, you have to define an interface for each type of function you want to use. The next version of Java will introduce function types.
So if you want to perform an action (which doesn't return anything) on an array of int's:
<java>interface IntToVoid {
void run(int x);
}
for (int z : myIntArray) {
new IntToVoid() {
public void run(int x) {
System.out.println(x);
}
}.run(z);
}</java>
Or if you want to perform "map" - return an array of the results of function applications:
<java>interface IntToInt {
int run(int x);
}
int[] result = new int[myIntArray.length]; for (int i = 0; i < myIntArray.length; i++) {
result[i] =
new IntToInt() {
public int run(int x) {
return x * x;
}
}.run(myIntArray[i]);
}</java>
JavaScript
Portable technique:
function map(a, func) {
for (var i in a)
a[i] = func(a[i]);
}
var a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
map(a, function(v) { return v * v; });
With the BeyondJS library:
var a = (1).to(10).collect(Math.pow.curry(undefined,2));
With Firefox 2.0:
function cube(num) {
return Math.pow(num, 3);
}
var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
//get results of calling cube on every element
var cubes1 = numbers.map(cube);
//display each result in a separate dialog
cubes1.forEach(alert);
//array comprehension
var cubes2 = [cube(n) for each (n in numbers)];
var cubes3 = [n * n * n for each (n in numbers)];

Lua
Say we have an array:
myArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
A map function for this would be
map = function(f, data)
local result = {}
for k,v in ipairs(data) do
result[k] = f(v)
end
return result
end
Together with our array and and a square function this yields:
myFunc = function(x) return x*x end print(unpack( map(myFunc, myArray) )) --> 1 4 9 16 25
If you used pairs() instead of ipairs(), this would even work on a hash table in general.

<python> def square(n):

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7]
squares1 = [square(n) for n in numbers] # list comprehension
squares2a = map(square, numbers) # functional form
squares2b = map(lambda x: x*x, numbers) # functional form with `lambda`
squares3 = [n * n for n in numbers] # no need for a function,
# anonymous or otherwise
isquares1 = (n * n for n in numbers) # iterator, lazy
import itertools isquares2 = itertools.imap(square, numbers) # iterator, lazy </python> To print squares of integers in the range from 0 to 9, type:
<python>print " ".join(str(n * n) for n in range(10))</python>
Or:
<python>print " ".join(map(str, map(square, range(10))))</python>

# To print the squared elements [1 2 3 4 5] each dup * print
# To obtain a new array group [1 2 3 4 5] each dup * list
Ruby
# You could use a traditional "for i in arr" approach like below:
for i in [1,2,3,4,5] do
puts i**2
end
# Or you could the more preferred ruby way of an iterator (which is borrowed from SmallTalk)
[1,2,3,4,5].each{ |i| puts i**2 }
# To create a new array of each value squared
[1,2,3,4,5].map{ |i| i**2 }
Scala
val l = List(1,2,3,4)
l.foreach {i => println(i)}
When the argument appears only once -as here, i appears only one in println(i) - it may be shortened to
l.foreach(println(_))
Same for an array
val a = Array(1,2,3,4)
a.foreach {i => println(i)}
a.foreach(println(_)) // same as previous line
Or for an externally defined function:
def doSomething(in: int) = {println("Doing something with "+in)}
l.foreach(doSomething)
There is also a for syntax, which is internally rewritten to call foreach. A foreach method must be defined on a
for(val i <- a) println(i)
It is also possible to apply a function on each item of an list to get a new list (same on array and most collections)
val squares = l.map{i => i * i} //squares is List(1,4,9,16)
Or the equivalent for syntax, with the additional keyword yield, map is called instead of foreach
val squares = for (val i <- l) yield i * i
Scheme
(define (square n) (* n n)) (define x #(1 2 3 4 5)) (map square (vector->list x))
A single-line variation
(map (lambda (n) (* n n)) '(1 2 3 4 5))
For completeness, the map function (which is R5RS standard) can be coded as follows:
(define (map f L)
(if (null? L)
L
(cons (f (car L)) (map f (cdr L)))))
Smalltalk
#( 1 2 3 4 5 ) collect: [:n | n * n].
