In DrScheme, how can I create an association list from 2 lists?
For example, I have,
y = ( 1 2 3 )
x = ( a b c )
and I want
z = ((a 1) (b 2) (c 3))

Assuming Scheme (since your last 2 questions are on Scheme):
(define x '(1 2 3))
(define y '(4 5 6))
(define (zip p q) (map list p q)) ;; <----
(display (zip x y))
;; ((1 4) (2 5) (3 6))

In C# 4.0 you can do it this way;
var numbers = Enumerable.Range(1, 10).ToList<int>();
var abcs = new List<string>() { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J" };
var newList = abcs.Zip(numbers, (abc, number) => string.Format("({0} {1})", abc, number));
foreach (var i in newList)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Hope this helps!
In Python it's pretty easy, just zip(x,y)
. If you want an associative dictionary from it:
z = dict(zip(x,y))
.
>>> x = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> y = [1,2,3]
>>> z = dict(zip(x,y))
>>> z
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2}
PHP has array_combine().
e.g. from the manual:
$a = array('green', 'red', 'yellow');
$b = array('avocado', 'apple', 'banana');
$c = array_combine($a, $b);
;; generalized zip for many lists
> test
'((1 2 3) (4 5 6) (7 8 9))
> (zip test)
'((1 4 7) (2 5 8) (3 6 9))
Depending on the language you're using there maty exist a "zip" function that does this, see this stackoverflow question: zip to interleave two lists
And perl:
use List::MoreUtils qw/pairwise/;
use Data::Dumper;
my @a = (1,2,3,4);
my @b = (5,6,7,8);
my @c = pairwise { [$a, $b] } @a, @b;
print Dumper(\@c);
Also for the sake of illustrating how this is done in q. (kdb+/q)
q)flip (enlist til 10),(enlist 10?10)
