Range expansion
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
Expand the range description:
- -6,-3--1,3-5,7-11,14,15,17-20
Note that the second element above, is the range from minus 3 to minus 1.

Groovy
Ad Hoc Solution:
- translate the task's range syntax into Groovy range syntax
- wrap with list delimiters
- evaluate the script expression
- flatten the nested lists
- express as a string
- unwrap the list delimiters

Given either of the below implementations of expandRange
:

[-6,-3,-2,-1,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,14,15,17,18,19,20]</lang>
With conventional list processing
<lang haskell>expandRange :: String -> [Int] expandRange = concatMap f . split ','

split :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> a split delim [] = [] split delim l = a : split delim (dropWhile (== delim) b)
where (a, b) = break (== delim) l</lang>
With a parser
<lang haskell>import Control.Monad import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec
expandRange :: String -> [Int] expandRange s = case parse rangeParser "" s of Right l -> l
rangeParser :: Parser [Int] rangeParser = liftM concat $ item `sepBy` char ','

Notes:
to: given two numbers (left: start of range, right: end of range) return the corresponding range
num: given the string representation of a number, returns the number
normaliz: given the task required string representing a sequence of ranges, create a fresh copy with fewer micro ambiguities: All subranges are preceded by a comma. Negative numbers use a different character ('_') than the continuous range character ('-').
subranges: given the result of normaliz, return a sequence of boxes (one box for each comma). Each box contains the subrange which is described after its comma.
Note that to/ is an identity function when applied to a single number. This is because (verb/) inserts the verb between each number (or each item in a list), and this is an identity function on a single number, regardless of any definition of the verb.

Extra blanks were added to the original list (which are ignored) to make an over/under comparison easier. <lang rexx>/*REXX program expands an ordered list of integers into an expanded list*/ old='-6,-3--1, 3-5, 7-11,14,15, 17-20'; a=translate(old,,',') new= /*change , ──► blanks [↑] */

TXR
A solution with three main parts:
- a parse-expression-grammar driven parser to decimate the input to a Lisp data structure;
- some Lisp code to expand the list, sort it, and remove duplicates (recursion, hashing, sorting).
- driver code which matches the input with the grammar, and produces output with the help of the Lisp code.
The grammar is:
num := [ + | - ] { digit } + entry := num [ ws ] - [ ws ] num | num rangelist := entry [ ws ] , [ ws ] rangelist | entry | /* empty */
Code:
<lang txr>@(define num (n))@(local tok)@{tok /[+\-]?\d+/}@(bind n @(int-str tok))@(end) @(define entry (e))@\
@(local n1 n2)@\ @(cases)@\ @(num n1)@/\s*-\s*/@(num n2)@\ @(bind e (n1 n2))@\ @(or)@\ @(num n1)@\ @(bind e n1)@\ @(end)@\
@(end) @(define rangelist (list))@\
@(local first rest)@\ @(cases)@\ @(entry first)@/\s*,\s*/@(rangelist rest)@\ @(bind list @(cons first rest))@\ @(or)@\ @(entry first)@\ @(bind list (first))@\ @(or)@\ @(bind list nil)@\ @(end)@\
@(end) @(do
(defun expand-helper (list) (cond ((null list) nil) ((consp (first list)) (append (range (first (first list)) (second (first list))) (rangeexpand (rest list)))) (t (cons (first list) (rangeexpand (rest list))))))
(defun sortdup (list) (let ((h (hash))) (each ((n list)) (set [h n] n)) [sort (hash-keys h) <]))
(defun rangeexpand (list) (sortdup (expand-helper list))))
@(repeat) @(rangelist x)@{trailing-junk} @(output) raw syntax: @x expansion: @(rangeexpand x) your junk: @{trailing-junk} @(end) @(end)</lang>
Run:
$ txr range-expansion.txr - 1,2,3-5,-3--1 raw syntax: 1 2 (3 5) (-3 -1) expansion: (-3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5) your junk: -6,-3--1,3-5,7-11,14,15,17-20 raw syntax: -6 (-3 -1) (3 5) (7 11) 14 15 (17 20) expansion: (-6 -3 -2 -1 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 17 18 19 20) your junk: -6,-3--1,3-5,7-11,14,15,17-20,cg@foo raw syntax: -6 (-3 -1) (3 5) (7 11) 14 15 (17 20) expansion: (-6 -3 -2 -1 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 17 18 19 20) your junk: cg@foo
Note how the junk in the last example does not contain the trailing comma. This is because the rangelist grammar production allows for an empty range, so syntax like "5," is valid: it's an entry followed by a comma and a rangelist, where the rangelist is empty.
