Lists
class: | Lists.java | |
methods: | nil cons brackets |

package: | immutable.list.util.exercise | |
source folder: | src/main/java |
nil
public static <E> ImList<E> nil()
Constructs a new empty list, analogous to the nil constructor for SML list datatype.
cons
public static <E> ImList<E> cons(E head, ImList<E> tail)
Constructs a new list comprised of head::tail, analogous to the :: constructor for SML list datatype.
brackets
public static <E> ImList<E> brackets(E... elements)
Constructs an ImList<E> whose contents are defined by the elements passed in.
The parameter E... arguments is an example usage of varargs in Java. You can treat parameter elements as if it is an E[]. The varargs ... simply allows for more convenient invocations of the brackets method.
In order to build this method, consider added a private static helper method to perform the actual work.
It is suggested that you adopt a recursive approach to solving this problem. What is the base case? What is the recursive case?

What fields, if any, are required as state for an empty list?
isEmpty
Hey EmptyImList, are you empty?

Check the behavior of tail() dictated by the specification in ImList<E>.
Clients
NOTE: Since the constructors on our implementations are package protected, you will need to use nil() and cons(head,tail).
Length
class: | Length.java | |
methods: | length | |
package: | immutable.list.clients.exercise | |
source folder: | src/main/java |
public static <E> int length(ImList<E> list)
Compute the length of an arbitrary ImList<E>.
SumProductCountdownFactorial
class: | SumProductCountdownFactorial.java | |
methods: | sum product countdown factorial |
|
package: | immutable.list.clients.exercise | |
source folder: | src/main/java |
sum
public static int sum(ImList<Integer> xs)
Compute the sum of all the items in an ImList<Integer>.
product
public static int product(ImList<Integer> xs)
Compute the produce all the items in an ImList<Integer>.
countdown
public static ImList<Integer> countdown(int n)
Produce a new list which contains the values from n down to 1. For example, countdown(5) would produce the list [5,4,3,2,1].
