examples

// Generator containing the sequence of natural numbers.
function* nat() {
  let i = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i++;
  }
}
 
// Sequence of all Mersenne numbers.
function mersenneNumbers() {
  return cons.map(nat(), function (x) { return Math.pow(2, x) - 1 });
}
 
// Sequence of all Mersenne numbers that are prime.
function mersennePrimes() {
  function isPrime(n) {
    return cons.every(cons.range(2, n - 1), function (x) { return n % x });
  }

methods

fromArray(arr)

Utility function that creates a generator from a given array arr.

let g = cons.fromArray([1, 2]);
console.log(g.next().value, g.next().value); // prints 1 2

toArray(it)

Utility function that consumes the whole sequence it and returns an array containing all of its values.

function* g() {
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
  yield 3;
}
 
cons.toArray(g()); // [1, 2, 3]

range(from, to)

Creates a generator containing an arithmetic progression starting with the value from up to including value to.

cons.toArray(cons.range(1, 3)); // [1, 2, 3]

map(it, fun)

Creates a generator containing the results of applying fun to all values of it.

function square(x) {
  return x * x;
}
 
cons.toArray(cons.map(cons.range(1, 3), square)); // [1, 4, 9]
cons.toArray(cons.map([-1, -2, -3], square)); // [1, 4, 9]

filter(it, p)

Creates a generator containing values of it where the predicate p holds.

function odd(x) {
  return x % 2;
}
 
cons.toArray(cons.filter(cons.range(1, 6), odd)); // [1, 3, 5]
cons.toArray(cons.filter([1, 2, 3, 4], odd)); // [1, 3]

reject(it, p)

Creates a generator containing values of it where the predicate p does not hold.

function odd(x) {
  return x % 2;
}
 
cons.toArray(cons.reject(cons.range(1, 6), odd)); // [2, 4, 6]
cons.toArray(cons.reject([1, 2, 3, 4], odd)); // [2, 4]

compact(it)

Creates a generator containing all truthy values of it.

cons.toArray(cons.compact(cons.range(-1, 1))); // [-1, 1]
cons.toArray(cons.compact([1, "", 2, 0, true, false])); // [1, 2, true]

reduce(it, fun)

Consumes the whole sequence it and reduces all of its values down to a single value. fun is called on each step with the current reduction state and value as arguments.

function sum(it) {
  return cons.reduce(it, function (acc, x) { return acc + x }, 0);
}
 
sum([2, 3, 4]); // 9
sum(cons.range(1, 3)); // 6
sum(cons.range(-1, 1)); // 0

each(it, fun)

Consumes the whole sequence it calling the given function fun for every value, passing the value as a single argument.

// Show alert boxes for numbers 1 to 3.
cons.each(cons.range(1, 3), alert);
cons.each([1, 2, 3], alert);

min(it)

Consumes the whole sequence it and returns the minimum value found or +Infinity for empty sequences.

cons.min(cons.range(1, 6)); // 1
cons.min([5, 1, 7]); // 1

max(it)

Consumes the whole sequence it and returns the maximum value found or -Infinity for empty sequences.

cons.max(cons.range(1, 6)); // 6
cons.max([5, 1, 7]); // 7

uniq(it)

Returns a generator containing all distinct values from the given sequence it.

function mod3(x) {
  return x % 3;
}
 
cons.uniq(cons.map(cons.range(1, 9), mod3)); // [1, 2, 0]
cons.uniq(['a', 'b', 'a', 'c']); // ['a', 'b', 'c']

every(it, fun)

Returns true if the given predicate fun holds for all values of the given sequence it. Returns true as well for empty sequences.

function greaterThanZero(x) {
  return x > 0;
}
 
cons.every(cons.range(1, 5), greaterThanZero); // true
cons.every([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], greaterThanZero); // false
cons.every([], greaterThanZero), true);

some(it, fun)

Returns true if the given predicate fun holds for at least one value of the given sequence it. Returns false for empty sequences.

function equalToZero(x) {
  return x === 0;
}
 
cons.some(cons.range(1, 5), equalToZero); // false
cons.some([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], equalToZero); // true
cons.some([], equalToZero), false);

size(it)

Consumes the whole sequence it and returns the number of values found.

cons.size(cons.range(1, 5)); // 5
cons.size([1, 2, 3]); // 3

contains(it, val)

Returns true if the given value val is contained in the given sequence it, false otherwise.

cons.contains(cons.range(0, 5), 0); // true
cons.contains([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 0); // false

find(it, fun)

Returns the first value of the given sequence it for which the given predicate fun holds.

function greaterThanThree(x) {
  return x > 3;
}
 
cons.find(cons.range(1, 6), greaterThanThree); // 4
cons.find([3, 4, 5], greaterThanThree); // 4
cons.find([], greaterThanThree); // undefined

take(it, num)

Returns a generator containing the first num values from the given sequence it.

cons.take(cons.range(1, 6), 3); // [1, 2, 3]
cons.take([1, 2, 3], 2); // [1, 2]

drop(it, num)

Returns a generator containing all but the first num values from the given sequence it.

cons.drop(cons.range(1, 6), 3); // [4, 5, 6]
cons.drop([1, 2, 3], 1); // [2, 3]

flatten(it)

Flattens the given (nested) sequence it.

function* g() {
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
  yield [3, 4];
}
 
cons.flatten([0, g()]); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
cons.flatten([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]]); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

flatMap(it, fun)

Creates a generator containing the flattened results of applying fun to all values of it.

function map(x) {
  return [x, [x]];
}
 
cons.flatMap(cons.range(1, 3), map); // [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]
cons.flatMap([1, 2, 3], map); // [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]
