Description

This module provides variants of the maximum and minimum functions which return the element for which some function is maximized or minimized.

Synopsis

argmax :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a argmax' :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> a argmin :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a argmin' :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> a argmaxBy :: (b -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a argmaxBy' :: (b -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b) -> [a] -> a

Maximum variations

argmax :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a Source

Returns the element of the list which maximizes the function, or Nothing if the list was empty.

argmax' :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> a Source

Direct version of argmax which doesn't catch the empty list error.

Minimum variations

argmin :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a Source

Returns the element of the list which minimizes the function, or Nothing if the list was empty.

argmin' :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> a Source

Direct version of argmin which doesn't catch the empty list error.

Generic versions

argmaxBy :: (b -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b) -> [a] -> Maybe a Source

Returns the element of the list which maximizes a function according to a user-defined ordering, or Nothing if the list was empty.

argmaxBy' :: (b -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b) -> [a] -> a Source

Direct version of argmaxBy which doesn't catch the empty list error.
