Scan Higher Order Function Assignment

Background

Previously, we have built sum_scan. This is a specific version of scan where the operation is +. We will build a higher-order function scan which takes an operation to apply, as well as a list.

Code To Implement

file:	src/main/sml/warmup_scan/scan.sml
functions:	scan

val scan = fn : ('a * 'a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Note: this higher-order function is curried.

fun scan operation xs

Clients

scan op+

For example:

scan op+ [131,231,425]

would produce:

[131, 362, 787]

xs	131	231	425
scan op+ xs	131	362	787

scan op*

For example:

scan op* [131,231,425]

would produce:

[131, 30261, 12860925]

xs	131	231	425
scan op* xs	131	30261	12860925
