You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Loop over multiple arrays (or lists or tuples or whatever they're called in your language) and display the i th element of each.
Use your language's "for each" loop if it has one, otherwise iterate through the collection in order with some other loop.
For this example, loop over the arrays:
(a,b,c) (A,B,C) (1,2,3)
to produce the output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
If possible, also describe what happens when the arrays are of different lengths.

If the arrays are not the same length, a subscript range error would occur when a non-existant element was accessed.
AppleScript
(Functional ES 5 zipListsWith version)
If we have a generic Applescript map function, we can use it to write a generic zipListsWith, which applies a given function over lists derived from the nth members of an arbitrary list of (equal-length) lists. (Where lists are of uneven length, items beyond the maximum shared length are ignored).
<lang AppleScript>-- ZIP LISTS WITH FUNCTION ---------------------------------------------------
-- zipListsWith :: ([a] -> b) -> a -> b on zipListsWith(f, xss)
set n to length of xss script on |λ|(_, i) script on |λ|(xs) item i of xs end |λ| end script if i ≤ n then apply(f, (map(result, xss))) else {} end if end |λ| end script if n > 0 then map(result, item 1 of xss) else [] end if
end zipListsWith
-- TEST ( zip lists with concat ) -------------------------------------------
on run
intercalate(linefeed, ¬ zipListsWith(concat, ¬ [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], [1, 2, 3]]))
end run
-- GENERIC FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------------------
-- apply (a -> b) -> a -> b on apply(f, a)
mReturn(f)'s |λ|(a)
end apply
-- concat :: a -> [a] | [String] -> String on concat(xs)
if length of xs > 0 and class of (item 1 of xs) is string then set acc to "" else set acc to {} end if repeat with i from 1 to length of xs set acc to acc & item i of xs end repeat acc
end concat
-- intercalate :: Text -> [Text] -> Text on intercalate(strText, lstText)
set {dlm, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, strText} set strJoined to lstText as text set my text item delimiters to dlm return strJoined
end intercalate
-- map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] on map(f, xs)
tell mReturn(f) set lng to length of xs set lst to {} repeat with i from 1 to lng set end of lst to |λ|(item i of xs, i, xs) end repeat return lst end tell
end map
-- Lift 2nd class handler function into 1st class script wrapper -- mReturn :: Handler -> Script on mReturn(f)
if class of f is script then f else script property |λ| : f end script end if
end mReturn</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
But a transpose function might be simpler:
<lang Applescript>-- CONCAT MAPPED OVER A TRANSPOSITION ---------------------------------------- on run
unlines(map(concat, transpose([["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], [1, 2, 3]])))
end run
-- GENERIC FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------------------
-- concat :: a -> [a] | [String] -> String on concat(xs)
if length of xs > 0 and class of (item 1 of xs) is string then set acc to "" else set acc to {} end if repeat with i from 1 to length of xs set acc to acc & item i of xs end repeat acc
end concat
-- intercalate :: String -> [String] -> String on intercalate(s, xs)
set {dlm, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, s} set str to xs as text set my text item delimiters to dlm return str
end intercalate
-- map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] on map(f, xs)
tell mReturn(f) set lng to length of xs set lst to {} repeat with i from 1 to lng set end of lst to |λ|(item i of xs, i, xs) end repeat return lst end tell
end map
-- Lift 2nd class handler function into 1st class script wrapper -- mReturn :: Handler -> Script on mReturn(f)
if class of f is script then f else script property |λ| : f end script end if
end mReturn
-- transpose :: a -> a on transpose(xss)
script column on |λ|(_, iCol) script row on |λ|(xs) item iCol of xs end |λ| end script map(row, xss) end |λ| end script map(column, item 1 of xss)
end transpose
-- unlines :: [String] -> String on unlines(xs)
intercalate(linefeed, xs)
end unlines</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
AutoHotkey
Pseudo-arrays
StringSplit creates a pseudo-array <lang autohotkey>List1 = a,b,c List2 = A,B,C List3 = 1,2,3 MsgBox, % LoopMultiArrays()
List1 = a,b,c,d,e List2 = A,B,C,D List3 = 1,2,3 MsgBox, % LoopMultiArrays()
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LoopMultiArrays()
{ ; print the ith element of each

local Result StringSplit, List1_, List1, `, StringSplit, List2_, List2, `, StringSplit, List3_, List3, `, Loop, % List1_0 Result .= List1_%A_Index% List2_%A_Index% List3_%A_Index% "`n" Return, Result
}</lang> An array that is too short on creation will return empty strings when trying to retrieve further elements. The 2nd Message box shows:
aA1 bB2 cC3 dD e
Real arrays
In AutoHotkey_L, we can use true arrays (Objects) and the For loop. <lang AHK>List1 := ["a", "b", "c"] List2 := ["A", "B", "C"] List3 := [ 1 , 2 , 3 ] MsgBox, % LoopMultiArrays()
List1 := ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] List2 := ["A", "B", "C", "D"] List3 := [1,2,3] MsgBox, % LoopMultiArrays()
LoopMultiArrays() {
local Result For key, value in List1 Result .= value . List2[key] . List3[key] "`n" Return, Result
}</lang> The output from this script is identical to the first one.
AWK
<lang awk>BEGIN {
split("a,b,c", a, ","); split("A,B,C", b, ","); split("1,2,3", c, ",");
for(i = 1; i <= length(a); i++) { print a[i] b[i] c[i]; }
}</lang>
Axe
Note that in this example, we use a few bytes from each of L₁, L₂, and L₃ for simplicity. In practice, one would want to arrange the arrays to all fit within L₁ to avoid volatility issues with L₂ and L₃. <lang axe>'a'→{L₁} 'b'→{L₁+1} 'c'→{L₁+2} 'A'→{L₂} 'B'→{L₂+1} 'C'→{L₂+2} 1→{L₃} 2→{L₃+1} 3→{L₃+2} For(I,0,2) Disp {L₁+I}►Char,{L₂+I}►Char,{L₃+I}►Dec,i End</lang>
Babel
There are two ways to do this in Babel. First, you could transpose the lists:
<lang babel>main: { (('a' 'b' 'c')('A' 'B' 'C')('1' '2' '3')) simul_array }
simul_array!:
{ trans { { << } each "\n" << } each }</lang>
The 'trans' operator substitutes nil in the portions of each transposed column wherever a row list was shorter than the longest row list. The '<<' operator prints nothing if the top-of-stack is nil.
A more literal solution to the problem as presented would be to iterate across each list using a user-defined cdrall operator:
<lang babel>main: { (('a' 'b' 'c')('A' 'B' 'C')('1' '2' '3')) simul_array }
simul_array!:
{{ dup { car << } each cdrall } { allnil? not } while }
cdrall!: { { { cdr } each -1 take } nest }
-- only returns true if all elements of a list are nil allnil?!:
{ 1 <-> { car nil? { zap 0 last } { nil } if} each }</lang>
This solution is formally identical to the first and will handle lists of varying lengths by printing inserting nil and printing nothing for the tail ends
of the
short lists.
BBC BASIC
<lang bbcbasic> DIM array1$(2), array2$(2), array3%(2)
array1$() = "a", "b", "c" array2$() = "A", "B", "C" array3%() = 1, 2, 3 FOR index% = 0 TO 2 PRINT array1$(index%) ; array2$(index%) ; array3%(index%) NEXT</lang>
Befunge
There's no concept of an array data type in Befunge, but you'd typically store your arrays as sequences of data in the Befunge code space. You'd then loop over the range of indices required to access those arrays, and use the loop variable as an offset into each data area. For arrays of differing lengths, you'd need to manually check for an out-of-range index and deal with it appropriately.
<lang befunge>0 >:2g,:3g,:4gv @_^#`2:+1,+55,< abc ABC 123</lang>
C
Given several arrays, especially if they are heterogeneous, the most ordinary way to loop over all of them is to simply use an index variable. Determining when to stop is generally done in some application-specific way.
<lang c>#include <stdio.h>
char a1[] = {'a','b','c'}; char a2[] = {'A','B','C'}; int a3[] = {1,2,3};
int main(void) {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { printf("%c%c%i\n", a1[i], a2[i], a3[i]); }
}</lang>
(Note: Some compilers may require a flag to accept this modern C code,
such as gcc -std=c99
.)
On the other hand, it is possible to write a more generic higher-order iteration scheme, as demonstrated in this example.
There, a type for arrays with runtime-specified lengths and polymorphic printing is defined, and the iteration continues up to the length of
the shortest array.
C#
<lang csharp>class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) { char[] a = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; char[] b = { 'A', 'B', 'C' }; int[] c = { 1, 2, 3 }; int min = Math.Min(a.Length, b.Length); min = Math.Min(min, c.Length); for (int i = 0; i < min; i++) Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", a[i], b[i], c[i]); }
}</lang>
Using Zip:
<lang csharp> int[] numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; string[] words = { "one", "two", "three" }; Console.WriteLine(numbers.Zip(words, (first, second) => first + " " +
second));
</lang>
Like a perl programmer would write it:
<lang csharp> Console.WriteLine((new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 }).Zip(new[] { "a", "b", "c" }, (f, s) => f + " " + s)); </lang>
Using inputs arrays of differents length: <lang csharp>
public static void Multiloop(char[] A, char[] B, int[] C) { var max = Math.Max(Math.Max(A.Length, B.Length), C.Length); for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) Console.WriteLine($"{(i < A.Length ? A[i] : ' ')}, {(i < B.Length ? B[i] : ' ')}, {(i < C.Length ? C[i] : ' ')}"); }
</lang> usage: <lang csharp>Multiloop(new char[] { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' }, new char[] { 'A', 'B', 'C' }, new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 });</lang>

DWScript
If the arrays don't have the same bounds, an index out of bound exception will be triggered when attempting to access a non-existing element.
<lang delphi>const a1 = ['a', 'b', 'c']; const a2 = ['A', 'B', 'C']; const a3 = [1, 2, 3];
var i : Integer; for i := 0 to 2 do

E
E lacks a nice way to do this; this is [http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Parallel_iteration to be fixed, once we figure out what to do]. However, iteration over an List produces its indexes as keys, so a not entirely awful idiom exists:
<lang e>def a1 := ["a","b","c"] def a2 := ["A","B","C"] def a3 := ["1","2","3"]
for i => v1 in a1 {
println(v1, a2[i], a3[i])
}</lang>
This will obviously fail if a2 or a3 are shorter than a1, and omit items
if a2 or a3 are longer.
Given a parallel iteration utility, we might write this:
<lang e>for [v1, v2, v3] in zip(a1, a2, a3) {
println(v1, v2, v3)
}</lang>
zip
cannot yet be defined for all collections
(other than by iterating over each one and storing the results in a List
first); but we can define it for numeric-indexed collections such as
Lists, as below. Both a definition for any number of collections and two
collections is given; the latter in order to demonstrate the principle
without the clutter resulting from handling a variable number of collections.
<lang e>def zip {
to run(l1, l2) { def zipped { to iterate(f) { for i in int >= 0 { f(i, [l1.fetch(i, fn { return }), l2.fetch(i, fn { return })]) } } } return zipped }
match [`run`, lists] { def zipped { to iterate(f) { for i in int >= 0 { var tuple := [] for l in lists { tuple with= l.fetch(i, fn { return }) } f(i, tuple) } } } zipped }
}</lang>
(This will stop when the end of the shortest collection is reached.)
EchoLisp
<lang scheme>
- looping over different sequences
- infinite stream, string, list and vector
- loop stops as soon a one sequence ends.
- the (iota 6) = ( 0 1 2 3 4 5) sequence will stop first.

The code above can be written shorter. First there is no need in lists as soon as strings in Ela can be treated as lists. Also instead of explicit labmda one can use partial application and a standard composition operator:

"123"</lang>

Erlang
Shortest option: <lang erlang>lists:zipwith3(fun(A,B,C)-> io:format("~s~n",A,B,C) end, "abc", "ABC", "123").</lang> However, as every expression in Erlang has to return something, printing text returns 'ok'. A list with as many 'ok's as there are lines printed will thus be created. The technically cleanest way to do things would be with lists:foreach/2, which also guarantees evaluation order: <lang erlang>lists:foreach(fun({A,B,C}) -> io:format("~s~n",A,B,C) end,
lists:zip3("abc", "ABC", "123")).</lang>
If the lists are not all the same length, an error is thrown.
Euphoria
There are many ways to do this. All of them rely on what strings really
are.
If they are all "strings", it's quite easy: <lang Euphoria> sequence a, b, c
a = "abc" b = "ABC" c = "123"
for i = 1 to length(a) do
puts(1, a[i] & b[i] & c[i] & "\n")
end for </lang>
If not, and the other sequence is known to contain only integers:
<lang Euphoria> sequence a, b, c
a = "abc" b = "ABC" c = {1, 2, 3}
for i = 1 to length(a) do
printf(1, "%s%s%g\n", {a[i], b[i], c[i]})
end for </lang>
A general solution for any arbitrary strings of characters or numbers can get a bit complex. This is because of how sequences are stored and printed out. One possible answer is as follows, if you know that only alphanumeric characters are used: <lang Euphoria> for i = 1 to length(a) do
if (a[i] >= '0' and a[i] <= '9') then
a[i] -= '0'
end if if (b[i] >= '0' and b[i] <= '9') then
b[i] -= '0'
end if if (c[i] >= '0' and c[i] <= '9') then
c[i] -= '0'
end if printf(1, "%s%s%s\n", {a[i], b[i], c[i]})
end for </lang> Just as in Java, using single quotes around a character gives you its "char value". In Euphoria, though, it is simply that character's code in ASCII.
With all three of the above solutions, if any of the strings are smaller
than the first, it will return an error.

If the arrays are of different length (say, array ns has no third element), then when its turn comes the next unit of storage along from the second element will be accessed, its content interpreted as an integer, and its decimal value printed... If however, array bound checking is activated (or there is a memory access protection scheme that would detect this), a feature unavailable via many compilers and not the default on the rest, then an error will be detected and the run will be terminated, possibly with a somewhat helpful message.
If instead of reading the action had been to store a value into the array, then in the absence of bound checking, arbitrary damage will be done (to code or data) that will possibly result in something going wrong. And if you're lucky, it will happen swiftly.

Go
Go's "range clause" of a for statement only looks at a single iterable value (array, slice, etc). To access the three in parallel, they have to be explicitly indexed.
If a2
or a3
were
shorter, the program would panic with "runtime error: index out of
range".
If a2
or a3
were
longer, extra elements would be ignored.
Go's philosophy is that you should explicitly check for whatever
conditions are meaningful in your application and explicitly handle
whatever errors are plausible.
<lang go>package main
import "fmt"
var a1 = []string{"a", "b", "c"} var a2 = []byte{'A', 'B', 'C'} var a3 = []int{1, 2, 3}
func main() { for i := range a1 { fmt.Printf("%v%c%v\n", a1[i], a2[i], a3[i]) } }</lang>
Golfscript
<lang golfscript>["a" "b" "c"]:a; ["A" "B" "C"]:b; ["1" "2" "3"]:c; [a b c]zip{puts}/</lang>
If there are arrays of different size, the shorter are treated as "null-padded" array.

If the arrays are not of equal length, the iteration stops after the last item of the smaller array has been processed; any extra items of lengthier arrays are ignored (or in other words, the iteration counter never exceeds the length of the smaller array, thus preventing an 'out of subscript range' error).

The second solution is more like other procedural languages and also handles unequal list lengths. <lang Icon>link numbers # for max
procedure main()
a := ["a","b","c"] b := ["A","B","C","D"] c := [1,2,3]
every i := 1 to max(*a,*b,*c) do
write(a[i]|"","\t",b[i]|"","\t",c[i]|"")
end</lang>
[http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/library/procs/numbers.htm Uses max from numbers]
J
For arrays of different types: <lang J> ,.&:(":"0@>)/ 'abc' ; 'ABC' ; 1 2 3 aA1 bB2 cC3</lang> This approach works by representing the digits as characters.
Where arrays are all the same type (all numeric or all string): <lang J> ,.&:>/ 'abc' ; 'ABC' ; '123' aA1 bB2 cC3</lang>
Both of these implementations reject arrays with conflicting lengths.
Other options include:
<lang J> |: 'abc', 'ABC' ,:;":&> 1 2 3 aA1 bB2 cC3</lang> <lang J> |: 'abc', 'ABC',: '123' aA1 bB2 cC3</lang> These implementations pad short arrays with spaces.
Or:
<lang J> |:>]&.>L:_1 'abc';'ABC';<1 2 3 ┌─┬─┬─┐ │a│A│1│ ├─┼─┼─┤ │b│B│2│ ├─┼─┼─┤ │c│C│3│ └─┴─┴─┘</lang>
This implementation puts each item from each of the original lists into a box and forms an array of boxes. (A "box" is a immutable pointer to immutable data -- in other words value semantics instead of reference semantics -- and "putting an item into a box" is obtaining one of these pointers for that item.) This implementation extends any short array by providing empty boxes to represent the missing elements. (An "empty box" is what a programmer in another language might call "a pointer to a zero length array".)
Java
<lang java>String[] a = {"a","b","c"}; String[] b = {"A","B","C"}; int[] c = {1,2,3}; for(int i = 0;i < a.length;i++){
System.out.println(a[i] + b[i] + c[i]);
}</lang>
If the first array is too short, it will stop
when it gets to the end of the first array.
If one of the other arrays is too short,
an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException
will be
thrown.
JavaScript
Imperative
This loops over the indices of the first array, and uses that to index into the others. <lang javascript>var a = ["a","b","c"],
b = ["A","B","C"], c = [1,2,3], output = "", i;
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i += 1) {
output += a[i] + b[i] + c[i] + "\n";
}</lang> If the b or c arrays are too "short", you will see the string "undefined" appear in the output.
Alternatively, we can nest a couple of calls to .forEach(): one for the array of three arrays, and one for each of the three index positions:
<lang JavaScript>var lstOut = [, , ];
[["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]].forEach(
function (a) { [0, 1, 2].forEach( function (i) { // side-effect on an array outside the function lstOut[i] += a[i]; } ); }
);
// lstOut --> ["aA1", "bB2", "cC3"]</lang>
Functional composition
ES5
Functional options include folding across an array of arrays with the built-in Array.reduce(), using a zipWith() function of suitable arity, or mapping over the output of a generic (any arity) zip() function.
(The generic zip function is the most tolerant – it simply ignores further elements in any arrays which are longer than the shortest array).
Reduce / fold:
<lang JavaScript>(function (lstArrays) {
return lstArrays.reduce( function (a, e) { return [ a[0] + e[0], a[1] + e[1], a[2] + e[2] ]; }, [, , ] // initial copy of the accumulator ).join('\n');
})([
["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]
]);</lang>
A fixed arity ZipWith:
<lang JavaScript>(function (x, y, z) {
// function of arity 3 mapped over nth items of each of 3 lists // (a -> b -> c -> d) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d] function zipWith3(f, xs, ys, zs) { return zs.length ? [f(xs[0], ys[0], zs[0])].concat( zipWith3(f, xs.slice(1), ys.slice(1), zs.slice(1))) : []; }
function concat(x, y, z) { return .concat(x, y, z); }
return zipWith3(concat, x, y, z).join('\n')
})(["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], [1, 2, 3]);</lang>
Or we could write a generic zipListsWith applying some supplied function overs lists derived from the nth members of an arbitrary list of (equal-length) lists.
<lang JavaScript>(function () {
'use strict';
// zipListsWith :: ([a] -> b) -> a -> b function zipListsWith(f, xss) { return (xss.length ? xss[0] : []) .map(function (_, i) { return f(xss.map(function (xs) { return xs[i]; })); }); }
// concat :: [a] -> s function concat(lst) { return .concat.apply(, lst); }
// TEST return zipListsWith( concat, [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], [1, 2, 3]] ) .join('\n');
})();</lang>
- Output:
<lang JavaScript>aA1 bB2 cC3</lang>
ES6
By transposition: <lang JavaScript>(() => {
'use strict';
// GENERIC FUNCTIONS -----------------------------------------------------
// concat :: a -> [a] const concat = xs => xs.length > 0 ? (() => { const unit = typeof xs[0] === 'string' ? : []; return unit.concat.apply(unit, xs); })() : [];
// map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] const map = (f, xs) => xs.map(f);
// transpose :: a -> a const transpose = xs => xs[0].map((_, col) => xs.map(row => row[col]));
// unlines :: [String] -> String const unlines = xs => xs.join('\n');
// TEST ------------------------------------------------------------------ const xs = [ ['a', 'b', 'c'], ['A', 'B', 'C'], [1, 2, 3] ];
return unlines( map(concat, transpose(xs)) );
})();</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
jq
The following solution is based on the assumption that all the arrays can be presented as an array of arrays. This allows any number of arrays to be handled.
Specifically, zip/0 expects an array of 0 or more arrays as its input. The first array determines the number of items in the output; nulls are used for padding. <lang jq># zip/0 emits [] if input is [].
def zip:
. as $in | [range(0; $in[0]|length) as $i | $in | map( .[$i] ) ];</lang>
Example 1:
[["a","b","c"], ["A","B","C"], [1,2,3]] | zip
- Output:
[["a","A",1],["b","B",2],["c","C",3]]
To obtain the compact output used in the the task description, we can filter the results through a "pretty-print" function:
def pp: reduce .[] as $i (""; . + "\($i)");
Example 2:
[["a","b","c"], ["A","B","C"], [1,2,3]] | zip | map(pp)
- Output:
[ "aA1", "bB2", "cC3" ]
As already mentioned, the above definition of zip/0 privileges the first
array,
and if the subsequent arrays are of different lengths, null is used as a
filler.
Thus:
[["a","b","c"], ["A","B"], [1]] | zip
produces:
[["a","A",1],["b","B",null],["c",null,null]]
Handling jagged input An alternative approach would be use a variant of zip/0 that pads all arrays shorter than the longest with nulls. Here is such a variant: <lang jq>
- transpose a possibly jagged matrix
def transpose:
if . == [] then [] else (.[1:] | transpose) as $t | .[0] as $row | reduce range(0; [($t|length), (.[0]|length)] | max) as $i ([]; . + [ [ $row[$i] ] + $t[$i] ]) end;

When there are fewer elements than the first (or whatever the loop is based on), livecode will add an "empty" value. If we add a "d" to lowA and a 4 to nums we get the following:

Lua
This can be done with a simple for loop: <lang lua> a1, a2, a3 = {'a' , 'b' , 'c' } , { 'A' , 'B' , 'C' } , { 1 , 2 , 3 } for i = 1, 3 do print(a1[i]..a2[i]..a3[i]) end </lang> but it may be more enlightening (and in line with the spirit of the challenge) to use the generic for: <lang lua> function iter(a, b, c)
local i = 0 return function() i = i + 1 return a[i], b[i], c[i] end
end
for u, v, w in iter(a1, a2, a3) do print(u..v..w) end </lang>
Mathematica
This can be done with a built-in function: <lang mathematica> MapThread[Print, {{"a", "b", "c"}, {"A", "B", "C"}, {1, 2, 3}}]; </lang> All arguments must be lists of the same length.

If the arrays are different lengths, then an out-of-bounds error will be raised.
OCaml
an immediate solution: <lang ocaml>let a1 = [| 'a'; 'b'; 'c' |] and a2 = [| 'A'; 'B'; 'C' |] and a3 = [| '1'; '2'; '3' |] ;;
Array.iteri (fun i c1 ->
print_char c1; print_char a2.(i); print_char a3.(i); print_newline()
) a1 ;;</lang>
a more generic solution could be to use a function which iterates over a list of arrays:
<lang ocaml>let n_arrays_iter ~f = function
| [] -> () | x::xs as al -> let len = Array.length x in let b = List.for_all (fun a -> Array.length a = len) xs in if not b then invalid_arg "n_arrays_iter: arrays of different
length";
for i = 0 to pred len do let ai = List.map (fun a -> a.(i)) al in f ai done</lang>
this function raises Invalid_argument exception if arrays have different
length,
and has this signature:
<lang ocaml>val n_arrays_iter : f:('a list -> unit) -> 'a array list -> unit</lang>
how to use it with arrays a1, a2 and a3 defined before:
<lang ocaml>let () =
n_arrays_iter [a1; a2; a3] ~f:(fun l -> List.iter print_char l; print_newline());

This implementation will stop producing items when the shortest array
ends.
Perl 6
<lang perl6>for <a b c> Z <A B C> Z 1, 2, 3 -> ($x, $y, $z) {
say $x, $y, $z;
}</lang>
The Z
operator stops emitting items as soon as the shortest input list is exhausted. However, short lists are easily extended by replicating all or part of the list, or by appending any kind of lazy list generator to supply default values as necessary.
Since Z
will return a list of lists (in this example, the first list is ('a', 'A', 1)
, parentheses are used around in the lambda signature ($x, $y, $z)
to unpack the list for each iteration.
Factoring out concatenation
Note that we can also factor out the concatenation by making the Z metaoperator apply the ~ concatenation operator across each triple:
<lang perl6>.say for <a b c> Z~ <A B C> Z~ 1, 2, 3;</lang>
We could also use the zip-to-string with the reduction metaoperator:
<lang perl6>.say for [Z~] [<a b c>], [<A B C>], [1,2,3]</lang>
A list and its indices
The common case of iterating over a list and a list of its indices can be done using the same method:
<lang perl6>for ^Inf Z <a b c d> -> ($i, $letter) { ... }</lang>
or by using the .kv
(key and value) method on the list (and dropping the parentheses because the list returned by .kv
is a flattened list):
<lang perl6>for <a b c d>.kv -> $i, $letter { ... }</lang>
Phix
Assumes a and b are strings and c is a sequence of integers.
If the arguments were not all the same length, attempts to retrieve non-existent elements would trigger a fatal run-time error.
<lang Phix>procedure print3(sequence a, b, c)
for i=1 to min({length(a),length(b),length(c)}) do printf(1, "%s%s%g\n", {a[i], b[i], c[i]}) end for
end procedure
print3("abc","ABC",{1, 2, 3})</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
PHP
<lang PHP>$a = array('a', 'b', 'c'); $b = array('A', 'B', 'C'); $c = array('1', '2', '3'); //These don't *have* to be strings, but it saves PHP from casting them later
if ((sizeOf($a) !== sizeOf($b)) || (sizeOf($b) !== sizeOf($c))){
throw new Exception('All three arrays must be the same length');
} foreach ($a as $key => $value){
echo "{$a[$key]}{$b[$key]}{$c[$key]}\n";
}</lang>
This implementation throws an exception if the arrays are not all the same length.
PicoLisp
<lang PicoLisp>(mapc prinl

The length of the first argument list controls the operation. If subsequent lists are longer, their remaining values are ignored. If they are shorter, NIL is passed to the function.

If they have different lengths there are two cases:
a() is the shortest one: Only elements up to maximum index of a() are
printed
a() is bigger than another one: if exceeding index to much, program
crashes,
else it may work because there is some "free space" after end of
assigned array memory.
For example if a has size 4, line dD4 will also be printed. size 20
leads to an crash
This is because ReDim becomes slow if everytime there is a change to
array size new memory has to be allocated.
Python
Using zip(): <lang python>>>> print ( '\n'.join(.join(x) for x in zip('abc', 'ABC', '123')) ) aA1 bB2 cC3 >>></lang> If lists are different lengths, zip() stops after the shortest one.
Using map(): <lang python>>>> print(*map(.join, zip('abc', 'ABC', '123')), sep='\n') aA1 bB2 cC3 >>></lang> If lists are different lengths, map() in Python 2.x pretends that the shorter lists were extended with None items; map() in Python 3.x stops after the shortest one.
Using itertools.imap() (Python 2.x): <lang python>from itertools import imap
def join3(a,b,c):
print a+b+c
imap(join3,'abc','ABC','123')</lang> If lists are differnt lengths, imap() stops after the shortest is exhausted.
Python 3.X has zip_longest which fills shorter iterables with its fillvalue argument which defaults to None (similar to the behavior of map() in Python 2.x): <lang python>>>> from itertools import zip_longest >>> print ( '\n'.join(.join(x) for x in zip_longest('abc', 'ABCD', '12345', fillvalue='#')) ) aA1 bB2 cC3

Racket
Racket for loops can loop over an arbitrary number of sequences of any kind at once:
<lang racket>
- lang racket
(for ([x '(a b c)] ; list
[y #(A B C)] ; vector [z "123"] [i (in-naturals 1)]) ; 1, 2, ... infinitely (printf "~s: ~s ~s ~s\n" i x y z))
</lang>
The loop stops as soon as the first sequence terminates -- in the above case i can iterate forever but looping stops when we reach the end of the list/vector/string. (The same holds for multiple containers of different sizes.)
Red
The word repeat evaluates a given block! a specified number of times and exposes the count value to the block! being executed. When a variable is used in a path notation, we put a colon in front of it. :counter
<lang Red>>>blk: [["a" "b" "c"] ["A" "B" "C"] [1 2 3]] == [["a" "b" "c"] ["A" "B" "C"] [1 2 3]]
>> repeat counter 3 [print [blk/1/:counter blk/2/:counter blk/3/:counter]] a A 1 b B 2 c C 3</lang>
REXX
same size arrays
If any of the array's elements are missing or it is a short list,
a blank is substituted to retain visual fidelity in the output.
When all elements are blank, then it signifies the end of the arrays.

Scheme
Scheme provides for-each
and
map
to iterate a function over one or more
lists.
The map
form is used to collect the results
into a new list.
<lang scheme> (let ((a '("a" "b" "c"))
(b '("A" "B" "C")) (c '(1 2 3))) (for-each (lambda (i1 i2 i3) (display i1) (display i2) (display i3) (newline)) a b c))
</lang>
Scheme has a vector
datatype with constant-time
retrieval of items held in an ordered sequence. Use srfi-43 to get
similar iterators for vectors, vector-for-each
and vector-map
:
<lang scheme> (let ((a (vector "a" "b" "c"))
(b (vector "A" "B" "C")) (c (vector 1 2 3))) (vector-for-each (lambda (current-index i1 i2 i3) (display i1) (display i2) (display i3) (newline)) a b c))
</lang>
Note, the lists or vectors must all be of the same length.
Sidef
The simplest way is by using the Array.zip{} method: <lang ruby>[%w(a b c),%w(A B C),%w(1 2 3)].zip { |i,j,k|
say (i, j, k)
}</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
Smalltalk
<lang smalltalk>|a b c| a := OrderedCollection new addAll: #('a' 'b' 'c'). b := OrderedCollection new addAll: #('A' 'B' 'C'). c := OrderedCollection new addAll: #(1 2 3).
1 to: (a size) do: [ :i |
(a at: i) display. (b at: i) display. (c at: i) displayNl.
].</lang>
If index i is out of bound, a runtime error is raised.
Standard ML
The below code will combine arbitrarily many lists of strings into a single list with length equal to that of the shortest list. <lang Standard ML> (*
* val combine_lists : string list list -> string list *)
fun combine_lists nil = nil | combine_lists (l1::ls) = List.foldl (ListPair.map (fn (x,y) => y ^
x)) l1 ls;
(* ["a1Ax","b2By","c3Cz"] *) combine_lists[["a","b","c"],["1","2","3"],["A","B","C"],["x","y","z"]]; </lang>
Stata
Use an index variable.
<lang stata>local u a b c local v A B C matrix w=1,2,3 forv i=1/3 { di "`: word `i' of `u`: word `i' of `v`=el("w",1,`i')'" }</lang>
Mata
<lang stata>mata u="a","b","c" v="A","B","C" w=1,2,3
for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
printf("%s%s%f\n",u[i],v[i],w[i])
} end</lang>
SuperCollider
Using three variables and indexing (SuperCollider posts the last statement in the REPL) <lang SuperCollider>
- x, y, z = [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]];
3.collect { |i| x[i] ++ y[i] ++ z[i] } </lang>
A more idiomatic way of writing it, independent of the number of dimensions: <lang SuperCollider> [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]].flop.collect { |x| x.join } </lang>
Or simpler: <lang SuperCollider> [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]].flop.collect(_.join) </lang>
Same with lamination (a concept from APL/J):
<lang SuperCollider>
["a", "b", "c"] +++ ["A", "B", "C"] +++ ["1", "2", "3"]
</lang>
Independent of dimensions: <lang SuperCollider> [["a", "b", "c"], ["A", "B", "C"], ["1", "2", "3"]].reduce('+++') </lang>
Swift
<lang Swift>let a1 = ["a", "b", "c"] let a2 = ["A", "B", "C"] let a3 = [1, 2, 3]
for i in 0 ..< a1.count {
println("\(a1[i])\(a2[i])\(a3[i])")
}</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
Tailspin
Simplest iteration with an ordinary "loop" that will error on uneven sizes <lang tailspin> def x: ['a', 'b', 'c'] def y: ['A', 'B', 'C'] def z: [1, 2, 3]
1..$x::length -> '$x($it);$y($it);$z($it); ' -> !OUT::write </lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
A simple transpose method that gives the same output and also errors on uneven sizes <lang tailspin> templates transpose
def a: $it def n: $it(1)::length [ 1..$n -> $a(1..-1; $it) ] !
end transpose
[$x, $y, $z] -> transpose... -> '$($it...) ' -> !OUT::write </lang> A more complex transpose that uses "foreach" more in line with the task proposal and handles uneven arrays <lang tailspin> def u: ['a', 'b'] def v: ['A', 'B', 'C'] def w: [1]
templates transpose2
@: [] $it... -> [i]( <?($i <..$@transpose2::length>)> ..|@transpose2($i): $it <> ..|@transpose2: [$it]) -> void $@ !
end transpose2
[$x, $y, $z] -> transpose2... -> '$($it...) ' -> !OUT::write
' ' -> !OUT::write
[$u,$v,$w] -> transpose2... -> '$($it...) ' -> !OUT::write </lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3 aA1 bB C
Tcl
<lang tcl>set list1 {a b c} set list2 {A B C} set list3 {1 2 3} foreach i $list1 j $list2 k $list3 {
puts "$i$j$k"
}</lang> If lists are different lengths, the manual [1] says: "The total number of loop iterations is large enough to use up all the values from all the value lists. If a value list does not contain enough elements for each of its loop variables in each iteration, empty values are used for the missing elements."
TorqueScript
<lang Torquescript> $var[0] = "a b c" $var[1] = "A B C"; $var[2] = "1 2 3";
for(%i=0;%i<3;%i++) echo(getWord($var[0],%i) @ getWord($var[1],%i) @ getWord($var[2],%i)); </lang>
TUSCRIPT
<lang tuscript> $$ MODE TUSCRIPT arr1="a'b'c" arr2="a'b'C" arr3="1'2'3" LOOP a=arr1,b=arr2,c=arr3 PRINT a,b,c ENDLOOP </lang>

TXR
Pattern language
<lang bash>$ txr -c '@(bind a ("a" "b" "c")) @(bind b ("A" "B" "C")) @(bind c ("1" "2" "3")) @(output) @ (repeat) @a@b@c @ (end) @(end)' aA1 bB2 cC3</lang>
TXR Lisp, using mapcar
Here we actually loop over four things: three strings and an infinite list of newlines. The output is built up as one string object that is finally printed in one go.
<lang bash>$ txr -e '(pprint (mappend (op list) "abc" "ABC" "123" (repeat "\n"))))' aA1 bB2 cC3</lang>
TXR Lisp, using each
<lang bash>$ txr -e '(each ((x "abc") (y "ABC") (z "123")) (put-line `@x@y@z`))' aA1 bB2 cC3</lang>
Translation of Scheme
<lang txrlisp>;; Scheme's vector-for-each: a one-liner in TXR
- that happily works over strings and lists.
- We don't need "srfi-43".

[apply mapcar fun (range) vecs])
(defun display (obj : (stream *stdout*))

(let ((a (vec "a" "b" "c"))

- Output:

UNIX Shell
With the Bourne shell, its for
loop (from
Loops/Foreach#UNIX Shell) can iterate only one list.
We use an index i
to access the other lists:
set -- $list
loads the positional parameters,
and shift $i
moves our element to
$1
.
<lang bash>a=a:b:c b=A:B:C c=1:2:3
oldifs=$IFS IFS=: i=0 for wa in $a; do set -- $b; shift $i; wb=$1 set -- $c; shift $i; wc=$1
printf '%s%s%s\n' $wa $wb $wc
i=`expr $i + 1` done IFS=$oldifs</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
When the lists have different lengths, this code uses the length of list
a
. Longer lists ignore their extra elements,
and shorter lists give extra empty strings.
Inspired by the previous example, below is the way to
loop over two arrays simultaneously using set --
$ARGS
.
It is less general than the previous example
but it is shorter and works just fine.
<lang bash>A='a1 a2 a3' B='b1 b2 b3'
set -- $B for a in $A do
printf "$a $1\n" shift
done</lang>
- Output:
a1 b1 a2 b2 a3 b3
Some shells have real arrays, so the iteration is much more simple and easy.
<lang bash>a=(a b c) b=(A B C) c=(1 2 3) for ((i = 0; i < ${#a[@]}; i++)); do
echo "${a[$i]}${b[$i]}${c[$i]}"
done</lang>
- Output:
aA1 bB2 cC3
<lang bash>set -A a a b c set -A b A B C set -A c 1 2 3 ((i = 0)) while ((i < ${#a[@]})); do
echo "${a[$i]}${b[$i]}${c[$i]}" ((i++))
done</lang>
<lang bash>a=(a b c) b=(A B C) c=(1 2 3) for ((i = 1; i <= $#a; i++)); do
echo "$a[$i]$b[$i]$c[$i]"
done</lang>
C Shell
Uses the length of array a. Longer arrays ignore their extra elements, but shorter arrays force the shell to exit with an error like b: Subscript out of range.
<lang csh>set a=(a b c) set b=(A B C) set c=(1 2 3) @ i = 1 while ( $i <= $#a ) echo "$a[$i]$b[$i]$c[$i]" @ i += 1 end</lang>
Ursa
Looping over multiple arrays in an interactive session:
<lang ursa>> decl string<> a b c
> append (split "abc" "") a
> append (split "ABC" "") b
> append (split "123" "") c
> for (decl int i) (< i (size a)) (inc i)
.. out a b c endl console
..end
aA1
bB2
cC3
> _</lang>
If either of the arrays are smaller than (size a), then an indexerror is thrown. This could be caught with a try...catch
block.
