// Function: map()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping
// Usage:
//   lst = map(func, list);
//   lst = map(function (x) x+1, list);
// Description:
//   Applies the function `func` to all items in `list`, returning the list of results.
//   In pseudo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function map(func,list):
//       out = [];
//       foreach item in list:
//           append func(item) to out;
//       return out;
//   ```
// Arguments:
//   func = The function of signature (x) to evaluate for each item in `list`.
//   list = The input list.
// See Also: filter(), reduce(), accumulate(), while(), for_n()
// Example:
//   func = function(x) x*x;
//   echo(map(func, [1,2,3,4]));
//   // ECHO: [1,4,9,16]
// Example:
//   path = star(n=5,step=2,d=100);
//   seglens = map(function (p) norm(p[1]-p[0]), pair(path,wrap=true));

// Function: filter()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping, Filters
// Usage:
//   lst = filter(func, list);
//   lst = filter(function (x) x+1, list);
// Description:
//   Returns all items in `list` that the function `func` returns true for.
//   In pseudo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function filter(func,list):
//       out = [];
//       foreach item in list:
//           if func(item) is true:
//               append item to out;
//       return out;
//   ```
// Arguments:

// Function: reduce()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping
// Usage:
//   res = reduce(func, list, [init]);
//   res = reduce(function (a,b) a+b, list, <init=);
// Description:
//   First the accumulator is set to the value in `init`.  Then, for each item in `list`, the function
//   in `func` is called with the accumulator and that list item, and the result is stored in the
//   acumulator for the next iteration.  Once all list items have been processed, the value in the
//   accumulator is returned.  Ie: `reduce(function (a,b) a+b, list)` is the equivalent of `sum(list)`.
//   In pseduo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function reduce(func, list, init=0):
//       x = init;
//       foreach item in list:
//           x = func(x, item);

//   ```
// Arguments:
//   func = The function of signature `function (x)` to evaluate for each item in `list`.
//   list = The input list.
//   init = The starting value for the accumulator.  Default: 0
// See Also: map(), filter(), accumulate(), while(), for_n()

// Example: Re-Implement product()
//   x = reduce(f_mul(),[3,4,5]);  // Returns: 60
// Example: Re-Implement all()
//   x = reduce(f_and(),[true,true,true]);   // Returns: true
//   y = reduce(f_and(),[true,false,true]);  // Returns: false
// Example: Re-Implement any()
//   x = reduce(f_or(),[false,false,false]); // Returns: false

// Function: accumulate()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping
// Usage:
//   res = accumulate(func, list, [init]);
//   res = accumulate(function (a,b) a+b, list, [init=]);
// Description:
//   First the accumulator is set to the value in `init`.  Then, for each item in `list`, the function
//   in `func` is called with the accumulator and that list item, and the result is stored in the
//   acumulator for the next iteration.  That value is also appended to the output list.  Once all
//   list items have been processed, the list of accumulator values is returned.
//   In pseduo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function accumulate(func, list, init=0):
//       out = []
//       x = init;
//       foreach item in list:
//           x = func(x, item);
//           append x to out;
//       return out;
//   ```
// Arguments:
//   func = The function of signature `function (a,b)` to evaluate for each item in `list`.  Default: `f_add()`
//   list = The input list.
//   init = The starting value for the accumulator.  Default: 0
// See Also: map(), filter(), reduce(), while(), for_n()
// Examples: Reimplement cumsum()
//   echo(accumulate(function (a,b) a+b, [3,4,5],0));
//   // ECHO: [3,7,12]
// Examples: Reimplement cumprod()
//   echo(accumulate(f_mul(),[3,4,5],1));
//   // ECHO: [3,12,60,360]

            i >= l ? out :

            a(x, i+1, [each out, x])
    ) a(init, 0, []);


// Function: while()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping, Iteration
// Usage:
//   x = while(init, cond, func);
// Description:
//   Repeatedly calls the function literals in `cond` and `func` until the `cond` call returns false.
//   Both `cond` and `func` have the signature `function (i,x)`. The variable `i` is passed the iteration
//   number, starting with 0.  On the first iteration, the variable `x` is given by `init`.  On subsequent
//   iterations, `x` is given by the results of the previous call to `func`.  Returns the resulting `x` of
//   the final iteration.  In pseudo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function while(init, cond, func):
//       x = init;
//       i = 0;
//       while cond(i, x):
//           x = func(i, x);
//           i = i + 1;
//       return x;
//   ```
// Arguments:
//   init = The initial value for `x`.
//   cond = A function literal with signature `function (i,x)`, called to determine if the loop should continue.  Returns true if the loop should continue.
//   func = A function literal with signature `function (i,x)`, called on each iteration.  The returned value is passed as `x` on the next iteration.
// See Also: map(), filter(), reduce(), accumulate(), while(), for_n()
// Example:
//   fibs = while(
//       init = [1,1],
//       cond = function (i,x) select(x,-1)<25,
//       func = function (i,x) concat(x, [sum(select(x,-2,-1))])
//   );  // Returns: [1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21]

// Function: for_n()
// Topics: Function Literals, Looping, Iteration
// See Also: map(), filter(), reduce(), accumulate(), while()
// Usage:
//   x = for_n(n, init, func);
// Description:
//   Given the function literal `func`, with the signature `function (i,x)`, repeatedly calls it `n` times.
//   If `n` is given as a scalar, the `i` value will traverse the range `[0:1:n-1]`, one value per call.
//   If `n` is given as a range, the `i` value will traverse the given range, one value per call.
//   The `x` value for the first  iteration is given in `init`, and in all subsequent iterations `x` will be the result of the previous call.
//   In pseudo-code, this is effectively:
//   ```
//   function for_n(n, init, func):
//       x = init;
//       if is_range(n):
//           iterate i over range n:
//               x = func(i,x);
//       else:
//           iterate i from 0 to n-1 by 1:
//               x = func(i,x);
//       return x;
//   ```
// Arguments:
//   n = The number of iterations to perform, or, if given as a range, the range to traverse.
//   init = The initial value to pass as `x` to the function in `func`.
//   func = The function literal to call, with signature `function (i,x)`.
// Example:
//   fib = function(n) for_n(
//       n, [],
//       function(i,x) x? [x[1], x[0]+x[1]] : [0,1]

    a(init, n[0]);


// Function: find_first()
// Topics: Function Literals, Searching
// Usage:
//   idx = find_first(val, list, [start=], [func=]);
// Description:
//   Finds the first item in `list` which, when compared against `val` using the function literal
//   `func` gets a true result.  By default, `func` just calls `approx()`.  The signature of the
//   function literal in `func` is `function (val,x)`, and it is expected to return true when the
//   two values compare as matching.  It should return false otherwise.
//   If you need to find *all* matching items in the list, you should probably use {{filter()}} instead.
// See Also: map(), filter(), reduce(), accumulate(), while(), for_n(), binsearch()
// Arguments:
//   val = The value to look for.
//   list = The list to search.
//   ---

// Function: binsearch()
// Topics: Function Literals, Data Structures, Searching
// Usage:
//   idx = binsearch(key,list, [cmp]);

//   idx = If given, the index of the item sublists to use as the item key.
//   cmp = The comparator function literal to use.  Default: `f_cmp()`
// See Also: map(), filter(), reduce(), accumulate(), hashmap()
// Example:
//   items = unique(rands(0,100,10000));

// Example:
//   items = unique(rands(0,100,10000));
//   idx = binsearch(44, items, cmp=function(a,b) a-b);
// Example:

//   for (kv=hm()) let(k=kv[0], v=kv[1]) ...
// Description:
//   This is a factory function for creating hashmap data structure functions.  You can use a hashmap

//   a = hm("foo37");  // Returns: 37
//   hm2 = hm("Blah", 39);  // Adds entry "Blah" with val 39.
