=head1 NAME
List::Util - A selection of general-utility list subroutines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use List::Util qw(
reduce any all none notall first
max maxstr min minstr product sum sum0
pairs unpairs pairkeys pairvalues pairfirst pairgrep pairmap
shuffle uniq uniqnum uniqstr
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<List::Util> contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed
would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high
enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being
individual extensions would be wasteful.
By default C<List::Util> does not export any subroutines.

=head1 LIST-REDUCTION FUNCTIONS
The following set of functions all reduce a list down to a single value.
=cut
=head2 reduce
$result = reduce { BLOCK } @list
Reduces C<@list> by calling C<BLOCK> in a scalar context multiple times,
setting C<$a> and C<$b> each time. The first call will be with C<$a> and C<$b>
set to the first two elements of the list, subsequent calls will be done by
setting C<$a> to the result of the previous call and C<$b> to the next element
in the list.
Returns the result of the last call to the C<BLOCK>. If C<@list> is empty then
C<undef> is returned. If C<@list> only contains one element then that element
is returned and C<BLOCK> is not executed.
The following examples all demonstrate how C<reduce> could be used to implement
the other list-reduction functions in this module. (They are not in fact
implemented like this, but instead in a more efficient manner in individual C
functions).
$foo = reduce { defined($a) ? $a :
$code->(local $_ = $b) ? $b :
undef } undef, @list # first
$foo = reduce { $a > $b ? $a : $b } 1..10 # max
$foo = reduce { $a gt $b ? $a : $b } 'A'..'Z' # maxstr
$foo = reduce { $a < $b ? $a : $b } 1..10 # min
$foo = reduce { $a lt $b ? $a : $b } 'aa'..'zz' # minstr
$foo = reduce { $a + $b } 1 .. 10 # sum
$foo = reduce { $a . $b } @bar # concat
$foo = reduce { $a || $code->(local $_ = $b) } 0, @bar # any
$foo = reduce { $a && $code->(local $_ = $b) } 1, @bar # all
$foo = reduce { $a && !$code->(local $_ = $b) } 1, @bar # none
$foo = reduce { $a || !$code->(local $_ = $b) } 0, @bar # notall
# Note that these implementations do not fully short-circuit
If your algorithm requires that C<reduce> produce an identity value, then make
sure that you always pass that identity value as the first argument to prevent
C<undef> being returned
$foo = reduce { $a + $b } 0, @values; # sum with 0 identity value
The above example code blocks also suggest how to use C<reduce> to build a
more efficient combined version of one of these basic functions and a C<map>
block. For example, to find the total length of all the strings in a list,
we could use
$total = sum map { length } @strings;
However, this produces a list of temporary integer values as long as the
original list of strings, only to reduce it down to a single value again. We
can compute the same result more efficiently by using C<reduce> with a code
block that accumulates lengths by writing this instead as:
$total = reduce { $a + length $b } 0, @strings
The remaining list-reduction functions are all specialisations of this generic
idea.
=head2 any
my $bool = any { BLOCK } @list;
I<Since version 1.33.>
Similar to C<grep> in that it evaluates C<BLOCK> setting C<$_> to each element
of C<@list> in turn. C<any> returns true if any element makes the C<BLOCK>
return a true value. If C<BLOCK> never returns true or C<@list> was empty then
it returns false.
Many cases of using C<grep> in a conditional can be written using C<any>
instead, as it can short-circuit after the first true result.
if( any { length > 10 } @strings ) {
# at least one string has more than 10 characters
}
Note: Due to XS issues the block passed may be able to access the outer @_
directly. This is not intentional and will break under debugger.
=head2 all
my $bool = all { BLOCK } @list;
I<Since version 1.33.>
Similar to L</any>, except that it requires all elements of the C<@list> to
make the C<BLOCK> return true. If any element returns false, then it returns
false. If the C<BLOCK> never returns false or the C<@list> was empty then it
returns true.
Note: Due to XS issues the block passed may be able to access the outer @_
directly. This is not intentional and will break under debugger.
=head2 none
=head2 notall
my $bool = none { BLOCK } @list;
my $bool = notall { BLOCK } @list;
I<Since version 1.33.>
Similar to L</any> and L</all>, but with the return sense inverted. C<none>
returns true only if no value in the C<@list> causes the C<BLOCK> to return
true, and C<notall> returns true only if not all of the values do.
Note: Due to XS issues the block passed may be able to access the outer @_
directly. This is not intentional and will break under debugger.
=head2 first
my $val = first { BLOCK } @list;
Similar to C<grep> in that it evaluates C<BLOCK> setting C<$_> to each element
of C<@list> in turn. C<first> returns the first element where the result from
C<BLOCK> is a true value. If C<BLOCK> never returns true or C<@list> was empty
then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = first { defined($_) } @list # first defined value in @list
$foo = first { $_ > $value } @list # first value in @list which
# is greater than $value
=head2 max
my $num = max @list;
Returns the entry in the list with the highest numerical value. If the list is
empty then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = max 1..10 # 10
$foo = max 3,9,12 # 12
$foo = max @bar, @baz # whatever
=head2 maxstr
my $str = maxstr @list;
Similar to L</max>, but treats all the entries in the list as strings and
returns the highest string as defined by the C<gt> operator. If the list is
empty then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = maxstr 'A'..'Z' # 'Z'
$foo = maxstr "hello","world" # "world"
$foo = maxstr @bar, @baz # whatever
=head2 min
my $num = min @list;
Similar to L</max> but returns the entry in the list with the lowest numerical
value. If the list is empty then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = min 1..10 # 1
$foo = min 3,9,12 # 3
$foo = min @bar, @baz # whatever
=head2 minstr
my $str = minstr @list;
Similar to L</min>, but treats all the entries in the list as strings and
returns the lowest string as defined by the C<lt> operator. If the list is
empty then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = minstr 'A'..'Z' # 'A'
$foo = minstr "hello","world" # "hello"
$foo = minstr @bar, @baz # whatever
=head2 product
my $num = product @list;
I<Since version 1.35.>
Returns the numerical product of all the elements in C<@list>. If C<@list> is
empty then C<1> is returned.
$foo = product 1..10 # 3628800
$foo = product 3,9,12 # 324
=head2 sum
my $num_or_undef = sum @list;
Returns the numerical sum of all the elements in C<@list>. For backwards
compatibility, if C<@list> is empty then C<undef> is returned.
$foo = sum 1..10 # 55
$foo = sum 3,9,12 # 24
$foo = sum @bar, @baz # whatever
=head2 sum0
my $num = sum0 @list;
I<Since version 1.26.>
Similar to L</sum>, except this returns 0 when given an empty list, rather
than C<undef>.
=cut
=head1 KEY/VALUE PAIR LIST FUNCTIONS
The following set of functions, all inspired by L<List::Pairwise>, consume an
even-sized list of pairs. The pairs may be key/value associations from a hash,
or just a list of values. The functions will all preserve the original ordering
of the pairs, and will not be confused by multiple pairs having the same "key"
value - nor even do they require that the first of each pair be a plain string.
B<NOTE>: At the time of writing, the following C<pair*> functions that take a
block do not modify the value of C<$_> within the block, and instead operate
using the C<$a> and C<$b> globals instead. This has turned out to be a poor
design, as it precludes the ability to provide a C<pairsort> function. Better
would be to pass pair-like objects as 2-element array references in C<$_>, in
a style similar to the return value of the C<pairs> function. At some future
version this behaviour may be added.
Until then, users are alerted B<NOT> to rely on the value of C<$_> remaining
unmodified between the outside and the inside of the control block. In
particular, the following example is B<UNSAFE>:
my @kvlist = ...
foreach (qw( some keys here )) {
my @items = pairgrep { $a eq $_ } @kvlist;
...
}
Instead, write this using a lexical variable:
foreach my $key (qw( some keys here )) {
my @items = pairgrep { $a eq $key } @kvlist;
...
}
=cut
=head2 pairs
my @pairs = pairs @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.29.>
A convenient shortcut to operating on even-sized lists of pairs, this function
returns a list of C<ARRAY> references, each containing two items from the
given list. It is a more efficient version of
@pairs = pairmap { [ $a, $b ] } @kvlist
It is most convenient to use in a C<foreach> loop, for example:
foreach my $pair ( pairs @kvlist ) {
my ( $key, $value ) = @$pair;
...
}
Since version C<1.39> these C<ARRAY> references are blessed objects,
recognising the two methods C<key> and C<value>. The following code is
equivalent:
foreach my $pair ( pairs @kvlist ) {
my $key = $pair->key;
my $value = $pair->value;
...
}
=head2 unpairs
my @kvlist = unpairs @pairs
I<Since version 1.42.>
The inverse function to C<pairs>; this function takes a list of C<ARRAY>
references containing two elements each, and returns a flattened list of the
two values from each of the pairs, in order. This is notionally equivalent to
my @kvlist = map { @{$_}[0,1] } @pairs
except that it is implemented more efficiently internally. Specifically, for
any input item it will extract exactly two values for the output list; using
C<undef> if the input array references are short.
Between C<pairs> and C<unpairs>, a higher-order list function can be used to
operate on the pairs as single scalars; such as the following near-equivalents
of the other C<pair*> higher-order functions:
@kvlist = unpairs grep { FUNC } pairs @kvlist
# Like pairgrep, but takes $_ instead of $a and $b
@kvlist = unpairs map { FUNC } pairs @kvlist
# Like pairmap, but takes $_ instead of $a and $b
Note however that these versions will not behave as nicely in scalar context.
Finally, this technique can be used to implement a sort on a keyvalue pair
list; e.g.:
@kvlist = unpairs sort { $a->key cmp $b->key } pairs @kvlist
=head2 pairkeys
my @keys = pairkeys @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.29.>
A convenient shortcut to operating on even-sized lists of pairs, this function
returns a list of the the first values of each of the pairs in the given list.
It is a more efficient version of
@keys = pairmap { $a } @kvlist
=head2 pairvalues
my @values = pairvalues @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.29.>
A convenient shortcut to operating on even-sized lists of pairs, this function
returns a list of the the second values of each of the pairs in the given list.
It is a more efficient version of
@values = pairmap { $b } @kvlist
=head2 pairgrep
my @kvlist = pairgrep { BLOCK } @kvlist;
my $count = pairgrep { BLOCK } @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.29.>
Similar to perl's C<grep> keyword, but interprets the given list as an
even-sized list of pairs. It invokes the C<BLOCK> multiple times, in scalar
context, with C<$a> and C<$b> set to successive pairs of values from the
C<@kvlist>.
Returns an even-sized list of those pairs for which the C<BLOCK> returned true
in list context, or the count of the B<number of pairs> in scalar context.
(Note, therefore, in scalar context that it returns a number half the size of
the count of items it would have returned in list context).
@subset = pairgrep { $a =~ m/^[[:upper:]]+$/ } @kvlist
As with C<grep> aliasing C<$_> to list elements, C<pairgrep> aliases C<$a> and
C<$b> to elements of the given list. Any modifications of it by the code block
will be visible to the caller.
=head2 pairfirst
my ( $key, $val ) = pairfirst { BLOCK } @kvlist;
my $found = pairfirst { BLOCK } @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.30.>
Similar to the L</first> function, but interprets the given list as an
even-sized list of pairs. It invokes the C<BLOCK> multiple times, in scalar
context, with C<$a> and C<$b> set to successive pairs of values from the
C<@kvlist>.
Returns the first pair of values from the list for which the C<BLOCK> returned
true in list context, or an empty list of no such pair was found. In scalar
context it returns a simple boolean value, rather than either the key or the
value found.
( $key, $value ) = pairfirst { $a =~ m/^[[:upper:]]+$/ } @kvlist
As with C<grep> aliasing C<$_> to list elements, C<pairfirst> aliases C<$a> and
C<$b> to elements of the given list. Any modifications of it by the code block
will be visible to the caller.
=head2 pairmap
my @list = pairmap { BLOCK } @kvlist;
my $count = pairmap { BLOCK } @kvlist;
I<Since version 1.29.>
Similar to perl's C<map> keyword, but interprets the given list as an
even-sized list of pairs. It invokes the C<BLOCK> multiple times, in list
context, with C<$a> and C<$b> set to successive pairs of values from the
C<@kvlist>.
Returns the concatenation of all the values returned by the C<BLOCK> in list
context, or the count of the number of items that would have been returned in
scalar context.
@result = pairmap { "The key $a has value $b" } @kvlist
As with C<map> aliasing C<$_> to list elements, C<pairmap> aliases C<$a> and
C<$b> to elements of the given list. Any modifications of it by the code block
will be visible to the caller.
See L</KNOWN BUGS> for a known-bug with C<pairmap>, and a workaround.
=cut
=head1 OTHER FUNCTIONS
=cut
=head2 shuffle
my @values = shuffle @values;
Returns the values of the input in a random order
@cards = shuffle 0..51 # 0..51 in a random order
=head2 uniq
my @subset = uniq @values
I<Since version 1.45.>
Filters a list of values to remove subsequent duplicates, as judged by a
DWIM-ish string equality or C<undef> test. Preserves the order of unique
elements, and retains the first value of any duplicate set.
my $count = uniq @values
In scalar context, returns the number of elements that would have been
returned as a list.
The C<undef> value is treated by this function as distinct from the empty
string, and no warning will be produced. It is left as-is in the returned
list. Subsequent C<undef> values are still considered identical to the first,
and will be removed.
=head2 uniqnum
my @subset = uniqnum @values
I<Since version 1.44.>
Filters a list of values to remove subsequent duplicates, as judged by a
numerical equality test. Preserves the order of unique elements, and retains
the first value of any duplicate set.
my $count = uniqnum @values
In scalar context, returns the number of elements that would have been
returned as a list.
Note that C<undef> is treated much as other numerical operations treat it; it
compares equal to zero but additionally produces a warning if such warnings
are enabled (C<use warnings 'uninitialized';>). In addition, an C<undef> in
the returned list is coerced into a numerical zero, so that the entire list of
values returned by C<uniqnum> are well-behaved as numbers.
Note also that multiple IEEE C<NaN> values are treated as duplicates of
each other, regardless of any differences in their payloads, and despite
the fact that C<< 0+'NaN' == 0+'NaN' >> yields false.
=head2 uniqstr
my @subset = uniqstr @values
I<Since version 1.45.>
Filters a list of values to remove subsequent duplicates, as judged by a
string equality test. Preserves the order of unique elements, and retains the
first value of any duplicate set.
my $count = uniqstr @values
In scalar context, returns the number of elements that would have been
returned as a list.
Note that C<undef> is treated much as other string operations treat it; it
compares equal to the empty string but additionally produces a warning if such
warnings are enabled (C<use warnings 'uninitialized';>). In addition, an
C<undef> in the returned list is coerced into an empty string, so that the
entire list of values returned by C<uniqstr> are well-behaved as strings.
=cut
=head1 KNOWN BUGS
=head2 RT #95409
L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=95409>
If the block of code given to L</pairmap> contains lexical variables that are
captured by a returned closure, and the closure is executed after the block
has been re-used for the next iteration, these lexicals will not see the
correct values. For example:
my @subs = pairmap {
my $var = "$a is $b";
sub { print "$var\n" };
} one => 1, two => 2, three => 3;
$_->() for @subs;
Will incorrectly print
three is 3
three is 3
three is 3
This is due to the performance optimisation of using C<MULTICALL> for the code
block, which means that fresh SVs do not get allocated for each call to the
block. Instead, the same SV is re-assigned for each iteration, and all the
closures will share the value seen on the final iteration.
To work around this bug, surround the code with a second set of braces. This
creates an inner block that defeats the C<MULTICALL> logic, and does get fresh
SVs allocated each time:
my @subs = pairmap {
{
my $var = "$a is $b";
sub { print "$var\n"; }
}
} one => 1, two => 2, three => 3;
This bug only affects closures that are generated by the block but used
afterwards. Lexical variables that are only used during the lifetime of the
block's execution will take their individual values for each invocation, as
normal.
=head2 uniqnum() on oversized bignums
Due to the way that C<uniqnum()> compares numbers, it cannot distinguish
differences between bignums (especially bigints) that are too large to fit in
the native platform types. For example,
my $x = Math::BigInt->new( "1" x 100 );
my $y = $x + 1;
say for uniqnum( $x, $y );
Will print just the value of C<$x>, believing that C<$y> is a numerically-
equivalent value. This bug does not affect C<uniqstr()>, which will correctly
observe that the two values stringify to different strings.
=head1 SUGGESTED ADDITIONS
The following are additions that have been requested, but I have been reluctant
to add due to them being very simple to implement in perl
# How many elements are true
sub true { scalar grep { $_ } @_ }
# How many elements are false
sub false { scalar grep { !$_ } @_ }
