Write a function that returns the running sum of list. e.g. running [1,2,3,5] is [1,3,6,11]. I write this function below which just can return the final sum of all the values among the list.So how can i separate them one by one?
sumlist' xx=aux xx 0
where aux [] a=a
aux (x:xs) a=aux xs (a+x)
I think you want a combination of scanl1
and (+)
, so something like
scanl1 (+) *your list here*
scanl1 will apply the given function across a list, and report each intermediate value into the returned list.
Like, to write it out in pseudo code,
scanl1 (+) [1,2,3]
would output a list like:
[a, b, c] where { a = 1, b = a+2, c = b+3 }
or in other words,
[1, 3, 6]
Learn You A Haskell has a lot of great examples and descriptions of scans, folds, and much more of Haskell's goodies.
Hope this helps.
You can adjust your function to produce a list by simply prepending a+x
to the result on each step and using the empty list as the base case:
sumlist' xx = aux xx 0
where aux [] a = []
aux (x:xs) a = (a+x) : aux xs (a+x)
However it is more idiomatic Haskell to express this kind of thing as a fold or scan.
